Functionality with feeling best describes Akua Objects, the Copenhagen-based studio founded by Annika Zobel Agerled and Josefine Arthur. For the pair, poetry lies in the details of daily life: every collection is named after someone dear, and every material is chosen with tradition in mind—from Murano’s romantic alleyways to the glassmaking heritage of Bohemia. Their designs live at the crossroads of old and new, with rounded forms and lyrical palettes inspired by flowering blooms, cherished memories and a touch of nostalgia.
