Anna Zimmermann

Anna Zimmermann (*1994) is a designer based in Vienna. Straddling between object design and sculpture, her practice explores the relationship between material culture and craftsmanship.

Her work is material-driven, and the objects are either made by Anna or in close collaboration with artisans. Her practice is versatile, often incorporating elements of imperfection, balance, and play.

Anna studied at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna (AT) and graduated Cum Laude from the Design Academy Eindhoven (NL). She completed her Master's degree at the Royal College of Art in London (UK).
