Her work is grounded in a deep respect for materials and craftsmanship, resulting in designs that feel calm, considered and quietly distinctive within both residential and commercial spaces.

After establishing Studio Maria Bruun in Copenhagen, she developed a practice that balances architectural clarity with human comfort. Natural materials, muted tones and carefully judged proportions are central to her work, often paired with an intuitive understanding of how furniture is experienced over time. Rather than following trends, Bruun focuses on creating pieces that invite use and age gracefully, revealing character through everyday interaction.

Bruun has collaborated with respected international brands, including Fredericia, where her collections reflect a contemporary interpretation of Danish design heritage. Across furniture, interiors and spatial projects, her work expresses a consistent philosophy: design should feel honest, emotionally resonant and enduring, offering long-term value through simplicity, functionality and material integrity.
