VAVA in print and on location

VAVA OBJECTS was founded by Elin Aschberg and Esmeralda Vidfar in 2023, working from Stockholm with an atelier in Gothenburg and a studio in Bassano del Grappa. Each piece is handcrafted in Sweden — fiberglass and hand-dyed resin, finished only with a matte UV coating so the material's own character carries the object. Below: selected projects, exhibitions, and editorial coverage. For press inquiries: info@vavaobjects.com.

Featured project

The World Residence

A bespoke suite by Studio AHEAD aboard The World — the largest private residential yacht on Earth. VAVA's contribution: a custom fiberglass kitchen, our first architectural use of the material beyond sculptural furniture, brought to the project via Aybar Gallery.
