INTRO
With experience in housing, hospitality, marketing, art and photography, Katharina Bies Studio works to re-sensualise the environment and the self.
Katharina Bies Studio is a Weimar-based office that enriches human experience through art and design. As a multidisciplinary studio, I see my work as a contribution to well-being, a distillation of aesthetics that resonates with the uniqueness of the person and place, and a system that supports universal human needs.
PROJECT
portfolio
The studio encompasses an extensive portfolio of projects of varying scale in the fields of architecture, interior design, art and photography. At the centre of the work is a deep appreciation for craft, history, culture and context combined with a progressive point of view.
With partners and clients worldwide, the studio stands for an interdisciplinary, internationally active brand. Through its own designs and works as well as collaborations with artists, designers, manufacturers and traditional craft businesses, the studio offers a broad perspective and creates space for innovative forms of expression.
Let us develop and express your personal style together. Become part of a creative process that ultimately leads to you.
SERVICE
As an interior designer, I create multi-faceted, experience-orientated residential, hospitality, commercial and retail environments that are specifically geared towards human needs. My service portfolio ranges from project conception to creative direction, realisation and marketing. My approach is based on creative cross-fertilisation through collaboration with a network of craftspeople, designers, creatives and architects.
As a photographer, I capture places, moments, moods, people and the stories behind them through my way of seeing things.
As an artist, I celebrate the juxtaposition of history and modernity, imagination and discipline, sophistication and anomalies.
As the owner of Katharina Bies Studio, I see my work as an inspirational force to enrich people’s present and future lives. The joy of creating, inspiring, capturing beauty and visualising ideas is the key to what I do – in photography, in painting and in designing spaces.

PROJECT
Expertise
Each project – whether architecture, interiors or design – is an example of minimalism with the aim of re-energising the built environment through tactile designs that engage the body and mind. In my work, my aim is always to find the essence of design, regardless of its scale or location, to create buildings, spaces and objects that connect with the innate human desire for belonging, autonomy and identity.
My expertise lies in recognising the moment when there is nothing more to add or take away; when function meets beauty and the work feels as good as it looks.
a few words
About me
I am a woman with university degrees in International Business and Architecture. I am a wife, mother, sister, partner, lover, friend. I am an entrepreneur, marketing manager, interior designer, photographer, artist – to put me in a box.
What else?
I find it exciting to break up familiar patterns and am interested in what I can find outside the margins. I’m a dreamer and a realist in one. I love to drive fast. I enjoy antipasti, good wine and spending time outdoors. I fail. I succeed. I laugh and love. I’m different and a little non-conformist, but I like it that way. I love doing things that make me feel alive. I cherish long evenings with friends, sharing happy moments and good conversations. Inspiration is what I’m always looking for and I find it whoever I meet and wherever I go.
I have a great passion for visualising, creating and capturing inner beauty and authenticity. I always intend to incorporate beauty into my life, and I think everyone should. It makes life worth living and worth loving. That’s my little secret to happiness.
