anima ona is a collaboration between product designers Freia Achenbach and June Fàbregas. The duo studied at the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart. Following a transdisciplinary and collaborative approach, they have been developing self-initiated projects and realizing commissioned works since 2018, moving on the border between design, research and art. Their diverse works are united by the search for previously unexploited resources and possibilities for reusing materials, which they pursue through experimental approaches and an examination of the cultural significance of objects.
