Freia Achenbach is a designer based in Stuttgart, Germany. Her approach allows movement between disciplines and playfully explores material, form, and colour. In her work Freia reflects on the metaphorical task of everyday objects, combining imaginative narratives with the exploration of materials. 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.
