Anna Resei is a designer based in Hamburg, Germany. Within her work she seamlessly melds abstract and functional interior objects with a recognizable visual language that is inspired both by digital representation and tangible physical materiality. Through her distinctive use of patterns and colour she continually draws inspiration from classical textile techniques always having a conscious material choice in mind.

Since graduating from Design Academy Eindhoven, Netherlands in 2021, Anna continued her solo practice and received several prestigious awards and scholarships.
Starting off by being a finalist of the 15th Design Parade Hyères, her artistic journey lead to renowned exhibitions like the Venice Design Biennial, Milan Design Week, Dutch Design Week, MAKK Cologne, Contextile Biennial and more.
In 2022/23 she has been designer in residence at the Museum of Applied Art & Design in Hamburg, Germany which culminated in her first solo exhibition and the acquisition of work into the permanent collection of the museum. Recently she has taken part in the residency #4 enigmatic refractions as part of IN Residence Design Dialogues.
