Maria Bruun

Maria Bruun is a Danish furniture and interior designer born in 1984 and based in Copenhagen, where she runs Maria Bruun Design. She graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design in 2012, and her studio offers full creative direction alongside furniture and interior design services.

Her work starts from a simple premise, that design is curiosity, respect and care, and that objects should belong to a time and a place rather than to a trend. Dependables, the stacking box system she presented within the Mindcraft project, and Subject Matter, a paravent in FSC-certified wood and translucent Reishi biomaterial shown in Copenhagen in 2025, both work as furniture and as quiet architecture; she has also collaborated with Reform on kitchen fronts and is regularly published in the Scandinavian and international design press.
