After taking a master’s degree from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Caroline became an architect. In 2019, she and her childhood friend Rose founded the interior design studio atelier axo.

Alexander Kirkeby
Glassblower
Alexander’s glass art has been shown at the Milan Furniture Fair and exhibited in NY and LA. Educated in design at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, he has been making work since 2016. His studio is located in his hometown of Aarhus, about two and a half hours by car from Copenhagen. Characterised by organic forms born from traditional eighteenth-century hand-blowing techniques, his work prizes distortion and individuality. His favourite colour is black.
