Career
Bryggman studied at the Academy of Arts and Crafts (now Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture) from 1940 to 1944. She began her career working in various architectural offices in Sweden before joining her father, Erik Bryggman, in Turku, Finland. In 1949, Bryggman also founded her own interior design office in Turku as the first woman in Finland. She was the interior architect of Turku Castle for more than 40 years. Together with her father, she led the restoration work of the castle and designed a lot of fixed and separate furniture and lighting for the castle. The most extensive other works were Bryggman's interior designs for the Sibelius Museum in Turku and Åbo Akademi University in the 1960s. Over the decades, Bryggman's commissions for public spaces included hotels, restaurants, cafes, pharmacies, shops, banks, office spaces and exhibitions. Along with the Turku castle, the historically significant interior design tasks included the Royal Academy of Turku building and the official residence of the archbishop. Bryggman also designed interiors and furniture for private spaces.
