“emotional design is my passion!”
I work and live in Sweden on the island of Gotland, the place of my inspiration. From the very first second, I knew I was in the right place.

About Me
For many years, the Swedish island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea has been a great source of inspiration for me, and many collections have been created here. I love the changing light, the wild nature and the fantastic colours of the seasons.
I was born in Berlin and studied design and art at the renowned Berlin–Weißensee Academy of Art. It was at this academy that I also completed my Master’s degree in design. A few years later, I obtained my doctorate at the internationally renowned Bauhaus University in Weimar, Germany.
I worked as an art director for many international companies and founded the design studio ‘Breitenbach und Töchter’ in 2017.
Over the years I developed my own signature, won awards and take responsibility for sustainable design.
So receiving the “german brand award” for Interior and Living is another award and confirmation of my visionary view of the future.
My big dream has always been to live in Sweden and develop my art and design on the island of Gotland. So off I went.
This island gives me inspiration and passion to create beautiful things.
In 2025 I founded my studio and butik “IRIS SCHUETZE“ for art and design.
From the idea to the product
As a designer, I draw and photograph everything that inspires me, searching for materials and shapes from nature.
But I also include special colours and surfaces in urban spaces in my designs.
