Annette Hinterwirth was born and raised in Austria. A self-taught designer, she graduated in business administration before widening her design knowledge with classes at the Technical University of Vienna and the UCLA in Los Angeles. Developing a passion for set design, Annette worked in the art departments of such Hollywood productions as Seven Years in Tibet or Project Peacemaker. Then, feeling the pull of New York, she started designing sets for fashion shoots and was soon collaborating with some of the world's most renowned photographers, including Terry Richardson, Alexei Hay, Matthias Vriens, Steven Klein, Shu Akashi, Todd Eberle and Elfie Semotan. Annette's work frequently appeared in the pages of Vogue, ID, Dazed and Marie Claire, among other magazines, and in the advertising of numerous fashion, luxury and lifestyle brands. Even as she pursued her career as a photo set designer, Annette began creating furniture and lighting on her own on the side. The work was quickly picked up by Totem Design, Breukelen, C.I.T.E. and other international design stores, and Annette, encouraged by the response, decided to return to Europe to concentrate on her own work full time. Her first project, Walljewels, a series of lighting objects inspired by glamorous jewelry designs of the 1940's to 1960's, was brought to life in collaboration with Swarovski and first exhibited at Colette in Paris.
