Profile

Georgia Wittmaack M.A.

Georgia Wittmaack studied at the University of Vienna and the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, graduating with an M.A. in Theory of Architectural Form, Design and Art History. After graduation, she worked in Paris, doing design work and trend research in the fields of fashion and interior. This led her to collaborate with notable designers, multinational organisations, and department store groups in Paris, New York, L.A., Tokyo, Milan, London, Frankfurt und Zurich. Returning to raise a family in Munich, she gained practical experience in the renovation of old houses with authentic materials for private use, with a true love for detail. What had been a hobby became a job with the founding of the project and planning office Habit-arte*, with its own showroom in Nymphenburg, featuring historical architectural elements and decorative objects. A key area of Habitarte* expertise is in French building elements - open fireplaces from the Renaissance to the Art Deco period. Other areas of speciality include parquet and tiled flooring from the 18th and 19th centuries, limestone and terracotta floors, doors and wainscoting, pillars, fountains and garden objects. The range of available products is complemented with hand-crafted reproductions made to custom dimensions from new or old materials and according to traditional specifications. Georgia's latest project is the recent founding of vintage-design-orientated department of Habit-arte*Nymphenburg. "Vintage" refers to a fashion or design orientation that reworks the classics with a used look. A new offering is the additional service of detailed planning and implementation.
