Maria Bruun — Furniture designer

“I strive to create design with curiosity, respect and care – which at the same time pushes the boundaries of how we understand our space and the objects we surround ourselves with.”

About:

With a starting point of sculptural functionality, Maria Bruun extends a holistic approach towards the objects and spaces she creates. Her work is inextricably linked to the identity of its users, becoming a part of the scenography of everyday life. With a great affinity for both traditional crafts and contemporary technologies, Bruun works closely with a number of skilled craftspeople – learning and listening with each iteration of her projects and prototypes. From her studio in Østerbro she works across furniture, interior and exhibition design that lies at the junction of artistic and commercial; championing a new age of Danish design that is respectful of its history, whilst striving for a contemporary design language.
