Anna Karnov & Clara Mahler

Anna Karnov and Clara Mahler have been running a joint design studio based in Aarhus since 2019. However, both had designed for renowned Danish furniture brands prior to their collaboration.

Anna holds a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Furniture Design from the Aarhus School of Architecture, while Clara holds a Bachelor's degree in Arts & Industrial Design from the Design School in Kolding.

Inspiration arises from the intersection of traditional craftsmanship and modern production methods, as well as the tactile qualities and characteristics of materials.

Our designs are rooted in products that provide great value to the user, sustainable products with a long lifespan, timeless rather than trendy, and products that can accompany the user through multiple life stages.

Our greatest driving force is the unique synergy that emerges in collaboration, where 1 + 1 equals 3. When two people complement and challenge each other through knowledge sharing and curiosity, it creates the framework for exciting design development and maturation. In our collaboration, it is extremely important for us to have fun, enjoy ourselves, and delve into the process and details, resulting in thorough products that we both stand behind.

We dream of designing functional products of high quality with enduring aesthetics, which will grace the homes of future generations and bear the imprint of multiple life stories.
