Utopia & Utility believes that everything that deserves to be made, deserves to be made well. Their creations combine traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design to bring meaningful, beautiful, and functional sculptures into everyday life. Founded in 2012, Utopia & Utility merges the functional with the fantastical through handcrafted vessels that unite materials like glass, wood, and metal. Each piece tells a story of collaboration, heritage, and sustainable creativity. Utopia & Utility is passionate about the union of form and function. Their handcrafted glass and wood vessels serve not only as practical objects but also as sculptural expressions of beauty and purpose. Each piece is created in partnership with skilled artisan across Europe.

Raw & Refined | This summer in Copenhagen, two independent brands—Utopia & Utility and Teixidors—come together in a shared vision of design, craft, and material integrity. Rooted in a deep respect for natural resources, both brands explore the intersection of tradition and innovation, transforming raw materials into timeless, tactile objects. Utopia & Utility blends artistry and function, layering materials like glass, wood, and ceramics into sculptural yet practical designs. Teixidors, with its masterful textile craftsmanship, works with the finest sustainable fibres—Merino wool, cashmere, and linen—woven by skilled hands on traditional wooden looms. In this joint exhibition, the conversation between material and maker takes centre stage.
