EXPERIENCE
DESIGNER + ARTIST
Annabelle Schneider is an award-winning Swiss-born, New York-based designer known for creating transformative spaces that blend physical and virtual realms, fostering emotional connection and well-being.
She holds graduate degrees in Strategic Design Management from HSLU Luzern and Interior Design from Parsons New York, where she currently teaches design studios.
Annabelle Schneider redefines spatial design by bridging physical and virtual realms, integrating technology with multi-sensory, tactile elements to evoke comfort, belonging, and well-being. Her projects, such as BREATHE WITH ME (2024), which debuted at NYCxDESIGN and evolved into a globally traveling installation showcased in Barcelona or Tashkent, and BEING in Bed (2023), featured at SWAB Contemporary Art Fair in Barcelona and Alcova during Art Basel Miami, invite participants to immerse themselves in soothing fabrics, soft shapes, and ethereal colors, sounds and scents. These works foster womb-like atmospheres while reimagining safe spaces and addressing societal issues through experiences rooted in brand and community engagement.
With a rich background in branding, installations and design management, her studio explores the fusion of technology and multi-sensory, tactile elements to redefine comfort, belonging and well-being in spaces. Her collaborative approach has seen experiential interiors for Vitra, Laufen and Snarkitecture amongst others; all her works challenge the traditional notions of space and experience by seamlessly integrating technology such as Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality all the while exploring sonic stimulus, draped textile and soft shapes of physical objects that engage the sense of touch.
Annabelle collaborates with healing institutions to create immersive environments for education, pain relief, and trauma therapy, redefining experiential design with inclusive, multi-sensory spaces that reconnect body, mind, and soul.
Finding calm in a world of constant unpredictability. Adapting to a rapidly evolving environment. Discovering new ways to reimagine our lives and identities through the transformative power of art and design.
