Freia Achenbach is a designer based in Stuttgart, Germany. Her approach allows movement between disciplines and playfully explores material, technology, form, and color. In her projects Freia Achenbach reflects on the metaphorical and social task of everyday objects to create sensitive and imaginative objects, furnitures and spaces. After graduating from the State Academy of Art and Design Stuttgart in 2019, she founded the design duo anima ona together with June Fàbregas. Since 2022 she is teaching at the Karlsruhe University of Art and Design.
