ABOUT
Mia Tešić (born 2001) is a speculative designer and interdisciplinary artist based in Vienna. Her practice explores contemporary topics through material experimentation, hands-on processes, and tangible experiences. Central to her work is the creation of dialogue, inviting new perspectives through objects and narratives that engage both mind and body.

Mia’s approach blends craft, performance, and storytelling, often incorporating participatory elements that encourage shared experiences and active observation. Whether through collaborative making or immersive installations, her work speculates on future possibilities while remaining grounded in the physicality of materials and the act of creation.

2025

In collaboration with
Anna SudySONA is a project made up of two large acoustic wall elements designed for sound absorption, inspired by tensile structures. It’s sculptural yet functional form is created by the panels which showcase organic and abstract landscapes enhancing the room’s acoustic quality. 
.
The project came into being after it was announced that Anna and me won the Open Call DIM THE NOIZZZZE issued by the International Office of Viennas University of Applied Arts. The relief pattern depicts the Angewandte’s partner universities, with one piece mapping European destinations, the other global ones. Each element features a very elastic textile stretched over a wooden framework which is layered with sound absorbing fleece. The project was realized with the expertise of acoustician Andreas Horvath (NextAcoustic), and the dedicated team of the Angewandte wood workshop.
