PRESENTATIONS
Anna Moraitou, an architect with a passion for design, merges her expertise in architecture with fashion to create unique utilitarian objects and accessories. Drawing inspiration from geometry and architectural principles, she crafts pieces that complement and enhance the human form. In a recent interview, she sheds light on her creative process, the challenges she faces in the industry, and the philosophy that drives her work. Despite the competitive nature of the field and financial hurdles, Moraitou continues to pursue her artistic vision, sharing her designs globally through Etsy and staying true to her inspiration.
DS: Tell us a little about yourself—your studies, career path, and how you started designing and producing objects.
My background in architectural studies trained me to design for the built environment across various scales, from urban planning to intricate details in furniture and small objects. A few years ago, when my architectural work became centered around bureaucratic stuff, I felt the need to return to hands-on creation, but on a smaller scale with simpler processes. That led me to design furniture, lighting, decorative objects, and eventually fashion accessories. I began to view fashion from a conceptual perspective—as a form of architecture for the human body.

Like a moored cruise ship, The Line fronts onto the IJ waterway in the Overhoeks district of Amsterdam. Sitting on private verandas behind the refined grid that wraps the building like a veil, residents enjoy views of the water just in front of them and of the city centre. The verandas are real outdoor rooms, their ceiling design making them feel like an extension of the interior space.
