In the heart of Copenhagen, Akua Objects’ workshop delicately weaves a universe where glass breathes soulful melodies. Founded in 2022 by Annika Zobel Agerled and Josefine Arthur, the brand embraces a gentle ambition: to create poetic and contemporary tableware, where each glass piece is both functional and brimming with emotion.
Akua Objects’ philosophy is simple and rare: glass tells a story. The collections bear proper names—Blixen, Karl, Augusta—and each piece is conceived as a bridge between past and present. The brand speaks of a “shadow story,” the ability to awaken memory through an everyday object.
Akua does not produce in bulk. Each piece is hand-blown in the historic workshops of Murano and Bohemia. The subtle irregularities—air bubbles, slight variations in shape—become marks of authenticity, a reminder that every object has been crafted with care and patience.
The shapes are rounded and sensual, and the warm colors—deep red, burnt orange, bright yellow—lend an almost romantic dimension to these objects. Far from the usual Scandinavian minimalism, Akua embraces a poetic and contemporary style, where each vase or glass becomes both a decorative accessory and a collectible piece.
Akua Objects also ventures into the realm of fashion. Their “fashionable” approach to glass leads them to collaborate with designers and present their pieces as true couture accessories. Glass becomes jewelry, a keepsake, and a fully-fledged style element.
