Where vision becomes fabric: our atelier and its artists

Hanna Beck

As a defining creative voice, Hanna Beck has been designing textile masterpieces with heart and dedication for over a decade. She joined the Christian Fischbacher design team in 2012 and took over creative direction of our atelier in 2018. Her work is marked by an extraordinary eye for detail and a deep connection to textile heritage.

To her, Christian Fischbacher stands for refined luxury, outstanding quality and a distinctive design language – rooted in a history that goes back over 200 years. Hanna finds inspiration in handmade creation: sketching, drawing, painting directly onto the finest fabrics.

In 2022, she and her family moved to a lovingly restored former weaver’s house in Appenzellerland. During the renovation, historic textile patterns were discovered – a moving bridge between past and present

The art behind the design

For Hanna Beck, designing bed linen is more than just creating a product – it's an intimate connection to the everyday life of people. These designs become part of private, personal spaces. That’s why the balance is key: the design must soothe and provide comfort, while still expressing character and style. This fine line between elegance, comfort, and personality is a daily challenge – and her greatest creative motivation.

Design as a shared process

Inspiration can come from anywhere – from the in-house archive, exhibitions, trend seminars and design magazines to social media and travels to design capitals. What matters is the trained eye, always seeking new impulses. Exchange with colleagues is central: ideas are shaped together and refined through dialogue. This collective creativity is what makes Christian Fischbacher’s design so unique.

Her favourite: RHYTHM

One of her personal favourites is RHYTHM – a design that blends modern clarity with subtle sophistication. Its generous pattern unfolds in harmonious colour tones: soft, calm, yet full of stylistic depth. A true statement of understated elegance.

Regula Stüdli

Regula Stüdli is one of the most sought-after names in textile design. Since 2023, she has enriched the Christian Fischbacher creative team with her unmistakable signature style. She brings valuable experience from the world of haute couture – which now flows into her work on high-end bed linen.



The fusion of exclusive fashion design and the world of interiors is a particular passion of hers. At Jakob Schlaepfer, she worked with a similar audience. In addition to her work for Christian Fischbacher, Regula runs her own atelier and shares her knowledge with emerging talent at institutions such as the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences or the preparatory design program in St. Gallen.

Between zeitgeist and timelessness

For Regula Stüdli, a successful design goes beyond visual appeal – it should touch people on a deeper level and surprise them. Especially with bed linen, balance is key: white space between elements gives the design room to breathe and lends it serenity.

Inspiration from nature and culture

Whether strolling through botanical gardens, visiting international museums, or wandering the streets of a metropolis – Regula finds inspiration everywhere. A recent highlight was the visit to the historic Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. Nature, too, plays an essential role: the stillness of the mountains and the rhythm of the seasons are a constant presence in her work.

Her favourite: SETA COTONE & FIORI PASTELLO

A design close to her heart is the combination of SETA COTONE and FIORI PASTELLO. The exceptional blend of 60% silk and 40% cotton creates an incomparably soft, luxurious touch. The floral motifs – almost botanically accurate vines and leaves – are colour-matched to the elegant fabric. The result is a harmonious interplay of elegance, nature, and textile finesse.

Bernhard Duss

Bernhard Duss is a multi-faceted creative – a renowned textile designer, stage and costume designer, and exhibition curator. Since 2020, he has been part of the Christian Fischbacher design team. He values the perfect balance of rich heritage and design innovation – particularly fascinated by how Christian Fischbacher revolutionized bed linen in the 1970s with colourful prints. He sees it as his mission to carry this pioneering spirit forward.

Alongside his work for Christian Fischbacher, Bernhard remains active as an independent designer in theatre, exhibitions, and personal projects.

Inspiration everywhere – designing with intuition

For Bernhard Duss, inspiration isn’t tied to a place – it’s about perception. A chocolate wrapper can be just as inspiring as a baroque inlay, a modern building, or a blooming garden. What matters is openness – the ability to see meaning in the seemingly random. Time awareness plays a role too – sensing what people long for. Bernhard observes a lot, but ultimately, it’s not about trends: it’s about creating patterns that resonate emotionally. Often, a design starts with a feeling and takes shape through the creative process.

The ideal bedroom

For Bernhard Duss, the bedroom is a space of retreat – a place where the unnecessary fades away. The bed is the focal point; everything else should recede. Walls, floors, and ceilings are ideally kept in soft, muted tones – providing a calm backdrop for the true centerpiece: the bed linen. Whether vibrantly patterned or pure white, it gives the room character and atmosphere – without saying a word too much.

His favourite: TREES

His personal favourite from the 2025 collection is TREES. It feels like sleeping under young fruit trees – surrounded by fresh greenery that soothes and invigorates at once. A design that captures both the serenity and liveliness of nature in one textile image.
