The Alban collection predates Akua Objects itself, sketched in 2019 while Annika's first son Alban was still growing, the symbol of new life and the remembered poppy giving rise to the drawings that would eventually found an entire brand. The Alban Vase is the newest addition to that founding collection, bringing a contemporary interpretation of the poppy into a mouth-blown Bohemian glass form that is as quietly alive as its inspiration. Look closely and you may find small bubbles of air caught in the glass forever, the breath of the glassblower preserved in the material itself.
A design from Akua Objects.

Features

• The newest addition to the Alban collection, a body of work with genuine founding significance as the drawings that first gave Akua Objects its creative identity and direction
• A contemporary interpretation of the poppy, the flower that has always held a particular place in Annika's heart and that runs through this collection as both symbol and visual language
• The tulip form makes it as compelling as a standalone object on a desk as it is holding freshly picked flowers at the center of a dining table
• Mouth-blown and handmade in Bohemia, each vase occasionally carries small bubbles of air within the glass, the glassblower's breath caught and preserved permanently in the material
• A piece with a deeply personal origin, named after Annika's first son and conceived while he was still growing, making it one of the most emotionally rooted objects in the entire collection

Care Instructions

• The Alban collection is dishwasher safe. We recommend dishwasher programs up to max 50°C, the glasses are not suitable for hot beverages.
• Given that each Akua piece is handcrafted, delicate handling is essential for their preservation. To ensure the longevity and pristine condition of your Akua glassware, please adhere to the following care instructions.
(1) Hand-wash each piece of glassware individually with warm water and a small amount of mild detergent. Use a soft sponge and gentle cleanser to avoid scratches. To avoid detergent residues, rinse the glasses thoroughly with clear water.
(2) Dry glassware promptly after washing to prevent calcium deposits. Gently use large microfiber cloths to dry the glass, avoiding excessive pressure to prevent breakage. Use the cloth to gently clean fingerprints from the outside of the glass.
(3) Use soft and dry microfiber cloths to polish the glass. Avoid applying excessive pressure or twisting parts si-multaneously, as this may cause the stem to break. Gently run the cloth along the outside to remove fingerprints.
