From the very beginning, Alwares has been centered around the kitchen and the dining table,

shaped by founder Jill Ågren’s deep passion for food and design. What started as a personal

quest to find and create meaningful objects for the home has evolved into a design-driven

production company, crafting pieces that enhance everyday rituals. With an eye for function

and form, Alwares seeks to create objects that not only serve a purpose but also add a sense

of presence and refinement to the spaces they inhabit.

“All objects tells a story - I want ours to be the ones you live with, use, and pass on.”

- Jill Ågren

The journey began with a collection of carefully considered ceramic pieces, designed to elevate

the dining experience. Inspired by fine dining yet versatile enough for everyday use, each piece

is handmade in Sweden with precision and care. The collection emphasises both aesthetic appeal and

durability, ensuring their place at the table for years to come.

At its core, Alwares is about longevity - both in design and in making. Production prioritises

high-quality craftsmanship, valuing traditional techniques while embracing innovation. Every object

is created with the intent of standing the test of time, both in material durability and aesthetic

relevance. While manufacturing may evolve beyond Sweden, the core values remain unchanged:

meticulous attention to detail, a respect for natural materials, and a commitment to thoughtful

production. Alwares seeks to foster a deeper connection between people and their surroundings

through objects that are as functional as they are beautiful. By producing in small batches and

working with skilled artisans, the brand ensures that every piece carries the essence of

intentional craftsmanship.

As Alwares has grown, its vision has expanded beyond the table to explore the fundamental

relationship between objects and their place in the home. The brand has developed a growing

collection of storage-focused designs that merge tradition with contemporary needs.

By reinterpreting traditional storage, Alwares continues to explore how design can create

meaningful connections between objects and the lives they become part of.

The online store represents a mixture of sourced and commissioned products,

made by selected craftsmen & suppliers.

Showroom open by appointment at Västmannagatan 47 in Stockholm.
