ABOUT PAULA
Hello, I am Paula - architect and designer from Zurich.
Trained at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH) in Zurich, where I earned my Master’s degree in Architecture, I went on to work as an architect and interior designer in Spain and Switzerland. In 2025, I founded FRIENDS OF PAULA — a studio dedicated to creating collectible design pieces, artist editions and bespoke architecture projects.
THE FRIENDS
FRIENDS OF PAULA is a multidisciplinary design brand with a collaborative approach to architecture and object design.
In an open-minded environment we share knowledge and skill, building a community with artists and artisans in order to preserve traditional craftsmanship and create meaningful design.
ARTIST COLLABORATIONS
In collaboration with Mai 36 Galerie Zürich, FRIENDS OF PAULA works with renowned artists from around the world to create editions as an extension of their body of work.
PHILOSOPHY
FRIENDS OF PAULA is about taking the time to do well.
To create something of value. To produce responsibly and sustainably. All of our products are hand-made, with an appreciation of the craft involved, made by experts in their field in order to achieve the highest possible quality. Rather than mass-producing, we produce limited series or on-demand only.
