Artep Studio is a design-led studio founded in 2020 by Austrian-born designer and Creative Director Petra Maierhofer. The studio approaches each project with a deep understanding of the cultural context, exploring the intrinsic character, materiality, and personality of each space. Regardless of scale, Artep Studio maintains meticulous attention to detail, ensuring every concept is executed with professional precision and personal commitment.
Specialising in functional art, the studio transforms everyday objects into visually striking and practical pieces, enhancing both form and function. Their portfolio includes sculptural furniture, mirrors, decorative wall panels, headboards, and room dividers, each crafted with a balance of contrasts—classic and modern, industrial and organic, sculptural and simple.
Artep Studio’s intuitive design philosophy draws inspiration from architecture, human behavior, and practical requirements, creating spaces that are timeless, sustainable, and enduring. By embracing a slow aesthetic, the studio prioritizes quality, durability, and sustainability, delivering bespoke designs that combine artistic expression with functionality, offering clients interiors that are both visually compelling and thoughtfully considered.
