Product Design
From the inception of Studio Z in 1988, Anna's intent has been to not only design distinct textiles and surface qualities, but to integrate textiles within product design in a functional and aesthetically novel way. Her background in Industrial Design and an initial career at Steelcase has lead to a variety of product explorations and innovations. Studio Z has a unique capability for inventing and designing within this dynamic realm of the product and textile relationship. The studio welcomes and continually pursues opportunities and ideas within this arena.
