Andreas Anwander is an Austrian designer and craftsman who has made Brazil his creative base for the past eight years. His international background — with experiences in Great Britain, Italy, the United States, Brazil, and Austria — shaped a design approach that blends European precision with Brazilian expressiveness.

In his studio, detail is everything. Some emerge subtly over time, others reveal themselves instantly — but none are accidental. Each piece is crafted in-house using certified Brazilian woods, hand-selected for their unique grains and character. Stones and brass elements receive the same level of attention, resulting in designs that feel light, refined, and built to last.

Andreas’s work explores the intersection of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary form, using the richness of Brazilian materials as a constant source of experimentation. His pieces combine clean lines with tactile textures, balancing innovation with respect for craft.

In recent years, he has established a strong name within Brazil’s design scene, recognized for his distinct design language and uncompromising quality. Through collaborations with architects, brands, and creative professionals, Andreas continues to expand his practice while staying rooted in the values that define his work: authenticity, precision, and an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship.
