Studio Arhoj began in Tokyo in 2006, where Anders Arhoj had moved to study Japanese, and it has kept that double inheritance ever since: Scandinavian restraint of form, Japanese attention to glaze and surface, and considerably more colour than either tradition usually permits.

The studio produces porcelain, stoneware and hand-blown glass in-house, with a team of potters, glass blowers and a dedicated glazing team, two hot shops and kilns firing through the week. Best known are the Ghosts — small glazed figures, each hand-finished, no two identical — alongside mugs, bowls, vases, drinking glasses and risograph prints from the studio's own print department.

Manufacturing here is deliberately visible: the shop is arranged so visitors can watch work being thrown, blown and glazed.
