Story
Anna-Lülja Praun was an Austrian architect and designer . She was one of the female pioneers of Austrian architecture and one of the first women to study architecture in Austria. In 1947, Praun worked on the restoration of Belvedere Palace in Vienna, which had been severely damaged in the war. From 1952, she had her own studio in Vienna. She designed houses, interiors, shops, furniture, lighting fixtures, and ceramics (the latter in collaboration with Gudrun Baudisch). From 1953 to 1959, in addition to working in her own studio, she also worked at the interior design store "Haus und Garten," founded in 1925 by Josef Frank.
