A scandinaviaN take on china
I am a ceramic designer based in Sweden and China. My practice encompasses sculptural vessels, painting, and functional ware. My pieces draw inspiration from the porcelain capital Jingdezhen, where I continue the city's thousand-year history of creating high-quality porcelain.
treasured things
With their loving nods to history and culture, Agnes’ vessels often feel instantly familiar. A technique, a brush or a particular shade of blue - seeking out old things and composing them in new ways is her way of sharing the treasures she finds.
”My work is driven by a love for the tradition, the material and for everyday life itself - there are so many things to appreciate. And the objects we bring into our homes should be things we appreciate and treasure. ”

Sharing her time between Scandinavia and China for over a decade has allowed Agnes to develop her own distinct expression. This cross-cultural merge has placed her in the permanent collections of Designmuseum Denmark as well as the Henan museum, one of Chinas oldest historical art museums.
