Poetic Tableware
Akua Objects was founded in 2022 in Copenhagen by Annika Zobel Agerled and Josefine Arthur, with a vision to create glassware as poetic objects. As co-founders, Annika leads the creative direction and design, while Josefine guides the brand as CEO. Together, they share a deep commitment to honoring the beauty of handmade craftsmanship and sincere design.
At Akua Objects, design and craftsmanship are at the heart of what we do. We believe in the marriage of thoughtful design and the artistry of traditional techniques — where every object becomes a testament to the meticulous hands and passionate hearts of our artisans.
Our journey begins with a time-honored design process, followed by the selection of the finest materials, sourced from tradition-rich glassworks across Europe’s historic glass capitals. From the enchanting alleys of Murano in Italy to the storied landscapes of former Bohemia in the Czech Republic, our artisans breathe life into molten glass, shaping dreams into form with every delicate breath.
Each piece of our poetic tableware bears witness to a quiet dialogue between tradition and modernity - where echoes of the past resonate through contemporary design. Guided by Annika’s creative vision, the forms and colors she designs embody a deep sensitivity to both material and emotion, resulting in rounded silhouettes and faded hues of deep reds, smoldering oranges, and luminous yellows that converge in a symphony of color and texture, whispering tales of warmth and nostalgia.
Every glass, vase, and bowl is a canvas waiting to be adorned with the stories of those who gather around it. In a world where mass production often reigns supreme, Akua Objects stands as a celebration of the enduring allure of the handmade. Each imperfection tells a story; each curve is a reminder of the human touch that breathes life into the inanimate.
Akua Objects is more than tableware — it is a celebration of life’s simple pleasures, an homage to design, and a tribute to the timeless artistry that transcends generations.
Join us in raising a glass to the poetry of design, the beauty of craftsmanship, and the eternal magic of creation.
