That tingles
No more lugging around crates of drinks! We have found a water filter jug that is a sight to behold. Made of borosilicate glass and stainless steel by AARKE, it's a popular carafe at the dining table. The Carbonator from AARKE is recommended for all those who like it sparkling. From now on, we can make our own sparkling water with the flick of a lever. Incidentally, all AARKE products are designed in Sweden. The Scandinavian-sounding word comes from the language of the Sami, a Scandinavian nomadic people in the far north, and means "everyday".
The two AARKE founders and product designers Carl Ljungh and Jonas Groth in conversation with MAGAZIN:
MAGAZIN: What prompted you to reinvent the sparkling water maker? Carl Ljungh & Jonas Groth: We were frustrated that we couldn't find a sparkling water maker that was the kind of design object that we thought a kitchen appliance should be. Kitchen appliances, and bubblers in particular, are something we use several times a day. Why shouldn't such a product, which often takes center stage in the kitchen, be designed as a real design object made of high-quality and beautiful materials? A product that can withstand both physical wear and tear and the wear and tear of the eye over the years. We also wanted to develop something that had the potential to change people's behavior towards a more sustainable life. The Carbonator was the obvious choice for Aarke's first product MAGAZIN: How is an AARKE product made? Carl Ljungh & Jonas Groth: AARKE's products are simple, clean and obvious at first glance, but in reality they are complex constructions. Each product is designed, developed and tested from the ground up in our workshop in Stockholm to ensure that the delicate balance between the technical components, which are only a hundredth of a millimeter in size, and the craftsmanship of metalworking is achieved.MAGAZIN: How can we imagine the AARKE "workshop" in Stockholm?** Carl Ljungh & Jonas Groth: We develop our products in-house in our studio - from the first idea sketch to the working prototype. We custom-build test robots to ensure quality and functionality. To this end, we have a dedicated and highly skilled design and engineering team and a fully equipped workshop. We have come to the conclusion that this is the only way to go if you want to influence and control all elements and details of product development.
