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.
