Studio Keen – project “Deux Cheminées”

This is Studio Keen; a young and exciting design collective based in Vienna founded by Angelina (Gini) Dörfler and Marietta Kiesling. As close friends with a common passion for interior and design, the two ambitious entrepreneurs decided to join forces in 2023 to offer a comprehensive and tailored service to take interiors to the next level. While Marietta is specialised in renovation, with a focus on old buildings, Gini’s expertise lies in the furnishing and decorating of spaces.

The pair total more than 270.000 social media followers, inspiring their communities through their eye for interior and outstanding work. With the coming together of two creative minds and different yet complimentary approaches to design, Studio Keen are able to bring a singular touch defined by their purity, eye for detail and great understanding of space and balance in decoration.

In 2023, we were delighted to support them in their first project as a newly founded design studio. As exclusive brand partners, we put our full range of decorative profiles at their disposal and let them work their magic.

The first project the dynamic duo took on was the “Deux Cheminées” apartment in a typical old Viennese building, located in the city-centre. The apartment was to be completely renovated and the space presented a lot of potential.

Retaining the apartment’s characterful original features was key to making this project a success. The timeless fishbone hardwood floors, high ceilings, hand-crafted tinted glass windows and old-fashioned window frames and doors were all preciously preserved and refurbished to keep the premises’ original charm alive. The old Swedish-style tiled stove, which was given a make-over with fresh a coat of white paint now serves as a masterful decorative centrepiece in the bedroom. The space is now fitted with modern furniture, light fixtures, decoration and a stunning second fireplace, which gave the project its name.
