The history · Since 2024

A happier life,
drawn in wood.

Inspired by two daughters who wanted to see their dad happy, a software founder became an artist—and Mia & Anna found its name.

The courage to change direction.

Inspired by Mia and Anna’s desire to see me happy, I left my software business and founded a studio where art and technology could finally meet.

Mia and Anna bring joy to the studio. We explore ideas together, and their presence keeps every technical decision connected to something warmer: the happiness of making.

The change was not a rejection of software. It became part of the new craft—digital drawing and exacting systems now serve wood, veneer, colour and hand assembly.

Crafting nature’s beauty

Illustration meets laser precision.

At Mia & Anna, illustration is harmonised with the exactness of CO₂ laser cutting. Digital drawings become physical layers, and those layers become shadows, surfaces and stories.

Maj is inspired by vibrant colours, intricate geometric shapes, flowers, mythology and the grain of real wood. A piece is only shared when it stands apart and feels complete.

“I will only create art that is as unique as it is captivating—I will settle for nothing less.”

Surprising partnerships in artistry

Mia & Anna’s unlikely role.

The studio began modestly, but grew into a family expression of creativity. The girls do not manufacture the work; their contribution is subtler and more powerful. They keep curiosity in the room.

Every finished piece carries not only technical craft, but the warmth and encouragement that made the studio possible.

The standard

British made.
British designed.
British quality.

Traditional craftsmanship and innovative laser-cutting are not opposites. Together, they let us redraw the boundary between art and technology.
