Fischbach & Aberegg – Swiss Interior Architecture and Design Studio
Founded in 1994, Fischbach & Aberegg AG is a Swiss studio for distinctive interior architecture, architecture and design. The studio develops and delivers projects for hotels, restaurants, retail, institutions and private clients in Switzerland and internationally.
Tanja Fischbach and Christoph Aberegg complement each other in developing successful interior architecture and design concepts with a distinctive atmosphere and lasting potential. Their cosmopolitan, contemporary approach is tailored to each client, their structures and objectives. Classical aesthetic elements, contemporary avant-garde design and eclectic individual pieces with character are combined with passion. Carefully considered lighting creates a warm atmosphere, while custom-designed furniture and objects reinforce the individuality of each project and the coherence of the overall concept.
The result is interior architecture that unites emotion and function – spaces that resonate with people of different ages, cultures and personalities.
Over the years, more than 200 projects have been completed for renowned clients across hospitality, restaurants, senior residences, wellness and spa, retail, presentation and office environments, as well as private residences. Working with an experienced network of permanent and independent professionals, Fischbach & Aberegg develops and delivers demanding commissions of different scales.
Christoph Aberegg
From an early age, Christoph Aberegg was fascinated by the challenge of creating projects for hotels, restaurants, retail, institutions and private clients that meet high expectations in terms of economic viability, profitability and customer footfall. For him, combining creativity with problem-solving is essential. As an ideas-driven professional, planner and entrepreneur, he knows how to guide a project successfully towards its goal.
Christoph Aberegg learned the craft of interior architecture from the ground up. For ten years, he competed at elite level with the Kloten Flyers.
At the age of 20, he founded an interior architecture studio together with renowned interior designer Jean-Pierre Dovat. Its references include discerning private clients from Zurich's residential districts as well as personalities such as David Bowie and Gunter Sachs.
This was followed by the establishment of Complete Bar Design Ltd. in London and, in 1994, Gastrokonzept GmbH, specialising in hotels and restaurants.
Together with Tanja Fischbach, Christoph Aberegg developed the Fischbach & Aberegg brand. As equal partners, they shape the direction and development of the company. Today, Fischbach & Aberegg AG provides interior architecture, architecture and design for the hospitality and restaurant sectors, as well as for retail, institutions and private clients.
Tanja Fischbach
Tanja Fischbach develops and plans interior architecture and design concepts for hotels, restaurants, retail, institutions and private clients. She combines strong creative intuition with precise conceptual thinking and a free, unconventional perspective. Questioning the familiar, recognising unexpected connections and developing solutions from them down to the finest detail are fundamental to her approach. As an ideas-driven professional, designer, planner and entrepreneur, she plays a defining role in shaping the distinctive signature of Fischbach & Aberegg.
She combines her keen sensitivity to people, spaces and atmosphere with extensive knowledge of different cultures and periods of art. The result is spaces with character and an identity of their own, where aesthetics and function come together naturally.
Tanja Fischbach trained in business administration and studied art history, followed by periods of study in London, Madrid and Lausanne. For ten years, she was a member of the management team of a long-established company specialising in picture frames and art. In this role, she was responsible for working with galleries and museums and developed visual and art concepts for public buildings, hotels, restaurants and private clients.
Together with Christoph Aberegg, Tanja Fischbach developed the Fischbach & Aberegg brand. As equal partners, they shape the direction and development of the company.
