THE brain behind abstract

Anne Braun is a creative and business-minded multi-talented person with the ability to inspire. From ABSTRCT studio, she combines her extensive experience in design, branding, retail, and hospitality into high-end interior concepts, where aesthetics, functionality, and experience are central. Her approach is personal, professional, and infused with a good dose of humor.

Anne is a designer whose passion for design is rooted in her youth. Inspired by her father, whose love for upholstery and design classics sharpened her view of beauty, and her mother, for whom building, repairing, and creating was second nature, Anne grew up in a family of four and an environment where the balance between aesthetics and functionality was always central.

As a little girl, she dreamed of becoming an artist. This dream quickly transformed into a driven desire to create spaces that tell stories – a desire that would shape her entire career. What began as a childhood dream developed into a solid career in the world of interior and concept design.

For Anne, concept development is more than work; it is an art form. She safeguards the intended concept with dedication, effortlessly recognizes the common thread, and combines this with a sharp, forward-thinking view. With her clear communication, sharp insight, and personal approach, she translates every space into a design that resonates – in feeling, function, appearance, and identity.
