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.
