Launched in 2022, Akua Objects is already a fashion insider’s favorite for its poetic take on glassware.
Glass, forged by fire, is increasingly becoming a hot topic in fashion—think Coperni’s latest Swipe bags and Pat McGrath’s “glass skin” on the couture runways. Now, in Copenhagen, Annika Zobel Agerled and Josefine Frank Arthur are bringing a fashion-forward perspective to glass through their brand Akua Objects. Founded in 2022, Akua Objects made its public debut in November last year with an exhibition of 100 unique glasses presented in a local gallery.
“We are of course proud of being Scandinavian, but I don’t think that the brand reflects the Scandinavian style,” says Arthur on a call, explaining that she and Agerled have instead built Akua around the idea of conveying “glassware as poetic objects. “In the old days, glass was seen exclusively as art,” Arthur continues, noting that “the magic around glass started to disappear” during the Industrial Age with the advent of machine-made glass.
