ANNA KARLIN

ANNA KARLIN

ANNA KARLIN is a New York-based, English-born furniture, lighting, jewelry and object designer– though her studio practice also encompasses set design, digital design and layout. A multi-disciplinary creative, her pieces have a high-brow minimalist touch, with each medium informing the next one to produce truly exceptional design.

I first met Anna through a shoot for Whistles, and I decided to revisit her at her new studio in the Lower East Side, where she has created a homey, convivial working space for her team. At the time, she was pregnant with her first child– a glowing mother-to-be!

WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT I WOULD BE SURPRISED TO FIND IN YOUR SPACE?
A fully working event kitchen.

DESCRIBE YOUR IDEAL WORKSPACE IN THREE WORDS…
Beautiful, free-spirited, tactile. Ok, that’s four.

WHAT’S THE BEST ADVICE YOU’VE BEEN GIVEN AND FROM WHOM?
Being sent a link to “Let it be,” by the Beatles, from my friend Lauren Jones.
WHERE DID YOU FIND THE COURAGE TO FOLLOW YOUR OWN PATH?
It never occurred to me not to. I find it much riskier to have my fate in the hands of others.

WHAT IS THE MOST PRODUCTIVE PRACTICAL TIP YOU COULD IMPART ON TO A FELLOW CREATIVE?
Put the hours in, and it will pay off.

WHAT THEMES DO YOU PURSUE IN YOUR WORK?
The tension between the natural and man-made.

Where They’ is a visual documentation of the creative environments of artist & people, that meet during my travels, of homes and studios.
