"Studio Arhoj, located in Copenhagen, Denmark, is a small independent design and production studio run by founder Anders Arhoj.
Anders began his work in interiors and design while studying in Tokyo, Japan in 2005. After moving back to Denmark he began operating a small design studio from his apartment in Vesterbro doing graphic work, identity, branding and kids illustration - and eventually moving into the world of ceramics.
Since pivoting to its current form in 2013 Studio Arhoj has become known globally for our hand thrown and hand cast ceramic items which can be found in over 200 stores around the world. While still working in interior design, branding and illustration, the studio has since functioned almost exclusively as a ceramics and product manufacturing studio. "
I found Anders Arhoj in the library book "Urban Potters Makers In The City" where I read about his life and how he works.
Arhoj likes to call himself a designer rather than potter or ceramicist.
My favourite pieces by him have got to be his 'ghosts'. The way he gives these beautifully glazed pieces character and personality with their little eyes really makes them come to life. The ones that have different shapes and textured glazes takes their personality to the next level.
In all of his work though I really love his glaze work, how he makes the colourful glazes I will probably never understand. The combination and pattern work he has in some of them also shows his skill and love for creating these objects.
