We established Ancher in 2023 as a joint venture between Elisabeth Snejbjerg of Copenhagen-based Studio Grey, Rainmaking Innovation, and the owner of our ceramic workshop in Poland.

Elisabeth has spent the past 20+ years designing and developing products, and in particular ceramics, for a range of national and international clients. Her products are highly sought after by restaurants, offices, and design professionals due to their well-thought-through functionality, simple and timeless design, and exceptional quality that means they last for years, even in busy environments.

Our Danish pottery studio is located in a beautiful farm outside Copenhagen where the potters have created wheel-thrown ceramics for more than 30 years. Our Polish ceramic workshop is a 35-year-old family-owned manufacturer that we co-own, and they produce some of the highest quality stoneware in Europe. We have worked closely together for years to create a sustainable and scalable production without sacrificing the look, feel, and durability of the products.

Ancher was born out of the wish to bring the stoneware collection to an even broader audience. To bring Ancher to life, Elisabeth teamed up with Rainmaking, a Copenhagen-based venture studio with experience in both direct-to-consumer and B2B ventures. They were able to bring the startup sauce and create the foundation for launching Ancher as a business.

Together we are able to combine beautiful, functional design with a sustainable production and a seamless, modern customer experience. We hope you like it.
