About

Claudio Ziegler (1955) studied architecture and urban planning at the Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos and Faculdades Integradas Ritter dos Reis in Porto Alegre, Brazil.  

After graduation, Ziegler moved to São Paulo where he worked as a set designer for TV commercials for the best film productions in Brazil and became one of the leading designers in this field.

In 1986, he was invited to come to the US to work for a photographer in Chicago but New York seemed to be more his style and decided to stay and work as an interior designer in the Big Apple.

In 1989, once again he is invited to join the interior design firm of Christa Fischer in Berlin, Germany, where he developed a couple of restaurants and an insurance company in Leipzig.

Still the NY appeal kept calling him back and in 1992 he opened Claudio Ziegler Designs and has been working non-stop for major clients and Brazilian celebrities in New York, Miami and São Paulo.

His style is clean, full of clever details and always mindful of his clients needs and wants. Through his international experience, Ziegler introduces the modern, lively and attractive Brazilian culture into his projects.
