In 2025, 2T-STUDIO celebrates its 25th anniversary. Expertise gained throughout the years has definitely contributed to the quality of the designs that the studio creates, which is demonstrated by the growing portfolio of awards in prestigious competitions in America, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Poland. It all started with a childhood dream, unrelenting passion and great determination, which saw Anetta Kazimierska, the studio’s founder, achieve international success.
From a childhood dream to her own design studio
The first time Anetta Kazimierska thought seriously about interior design was when she was in the seventh grade of primary school. At the time, this dream seemed fascinating and unrealistic to her, but every step brought the young enthusiast closer to achieving her goal. She started her education at the Secondary School of Visual Arts with a specialisation in Exhibition. The five years spent in the drawing, painting and sculpture studios made Anetta Kazimierska even more motivated to work towards her dream university.
From Koszalin University of Technology, Anetta Kazimierska graduated with honours in two faculties: Interior Design and Industrial Design. In her third year, she embarked on her teaching career, first as an assistant in the studios headed by Prof. Tomasz Matuszewski, Prof. Krzysztof Meissner, Prof. Bogumiła Jung, Prof. Aleksander Kuczma and Prof. Piotr C. Kowalski, and later as a lecturer. Overall, she worked at the university for 10 years. At the same time, she developed her own studio. Her tremendous perseverance and passion have made her an international success story today.
Out-of-the-ordinary sources of inspiration – unfailing creativity and fun in her work
Anetta Kazimierska’s extensive portfolio includes the completion of both residential and commercial interiors. On a number of occasions, she has also created end-to-end projects encompassing both the body of the building and interior. By her own admission, it is these projects that give her the most satisfaction and joy in being able to fully cater for the client. In her thinking, she remains open to a variety of inspirations: from a single piece of furniture, through a texture or colour, to the view out the window. It makes each process unique and keeps her fascinated with her job.
What values and outlook guide your design work? What are your priorities in creating interior designs?
The studio’s vision is to shape a timeless atmosphere and create human-friendly spaces. I try to create places that are conducive not only to relaxation and leisure, but also to work – in short, balanced places that are good for living. For both residential and commercial interiors, I focus on a sense of order and harmony. First and foremost, I design out of passion and a desire to create.
Do you have a favourite interior design style? If so, what kind?
I don’t like to be pigeonholed. I tend to be rather free with my choices. Rather than limiting myself to some box, I simply try to create a friendly atmosphere and timeless character. In my work, I like to explore, experience and experiment. I feel comfortable in any style. I take what is most valuable from each one and play with it, filtering it through my own sense of taste and aesthetics. You could say that in doing so, I shape it anew.
What materials and technologies do you most like to use in your projects?
I most value natural materials such as wood, stone, glass, steel and natural fabrics.
What are your experiences of working with clients? What do you think is the key to a successful collaboration?
I have always said that, for the sake of a good project, cooperation with an architect should be based above all on honesty, trust and a good relationship. Following this general rule, I don’t design ‘everything’. I only commit to projects in which there is ‘chemistry’ and which are in line with my sense of aesthetics. It lets me design them as if they were for ‘me’, i.e. perfectly and responsibly. At the same time, I always try to find a middle ground between my vision and the investor’s idea.
Can you talk about one of the most inspiring/interesting projects you have worked on?
Each project I get involved in is different and therefore newly fascinating. Each investor brings new challenges and seeks new inspirations. Thanks to the clients and their various preferences, I am never bored in my work.
I found the Koszalin ‘Dom Swoisty’ particularly challenging, as I was an investor in this project for myself. This left me with a free hand and complete freedom of action, but at the same time the bar was set high. It was the kind of project I like best, i.e. encompassing both the body of the building and interior. The ultimate goal was to create a comfortable interior with a focus on family life. In an open space soaked in natural light, coming in from sunrise to sunset, I used my favourite natural materials, original design and unusual solutions. I can confess that I went wild, playing with design, materials, textures and structure, knowing that no one but myself would resent my risky and unusual decisions in materials and workmanship.
Do you offer a consultation service?
Yes, I do.
