anaca studio

anaca studio anaca studio by designer Anne-Claire Petre is a Melbourne based furniture brand offering a range of inspirational sustainable furniture and products.

Anaca studio began in early 2012 when, after 11 years of industry experience, I decided to finally bring my sketchbooks to life through an inspiring range of eco-friendly, locally made furniture. Studies in industrial and furniture design took me from France to Scotland and to a design-making associateship at the Jamfactory in Adelaide. Along the way I developed my understanding of good design, ma

terials and processes. In Melbourne, working for a few well-known furniture companies and a couple of architecture and interior design studios gave me some valuable insight into the industry. What lies behind the brand is a passion for design principles, a belief that simplicity of forms and thoughtful details are essential to creating beautiful and lasting products. Although the sole designer and principal of anaca studio, I want to acknowledge my manufacturers without whose artisanship the products would not exist. I also thank everyone else involved with IT, graphics, website, photography etc. “We” are anaca studio.

For a long time, my focus has been so firmly set on design, furniture, and running the business that I forgot how important it is to be creative purely for the sake of it. Somewhere along the way, I also stopped making and crafting, something that was always deeply important to me.

A recent conversation with the very wonderful Fiona made me reflect on the Chinese horoscope. I’m not one to follow it closely (not much of a believer either), but the 2025 Year of the Snake felt incredibly accurate. Slow. Transformative. A year of shedding. Quiet, but necessary. Spot on!

Over the past few months, I’ve felt a shift. As we move into 2026, the Year of the Horse, I’m open to the momentum, movement, and forward energy it is said to bring. Feeling lighter, more liberated, and more willing to explore experimental work without needing to define where it leads.

Is anyone else feeling this shift?

I’ll never get tired of seeing designers work their magic on our pieces, it’s the best kind of collaboration.

Remember our Pier table from the recent warehouse sneak peek? Here it is in its actual home.

There’s nothing quite like receiving photos from a client and knowing they love the piece as much as I do.

Seeing it settled into a real space is such a lovely reminder of why I design in the first place…Thoughtful furniture, made for real life.
If this sparks ideas for your own home or project, I’m only a message away!

✨Reminder… There’s also 15% off made to order furniture until Sunday!! ✨

It’ll give a chance for others to see it!

Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
