About

Alain Grossenbacher, founder of AFG Objects, creates a unique line of ceramic lamps in his studio in Brooklyn, NY. This project was born out of a desire to work with clay after a stroke in 2021 left him unable to continue in his prior corporate environment. He worked for Bodum, a well-known international housewares design company as a Creative director and then CEO in the US for many years.

With creative talent and a desire to produce useful objects in ceramics, Alain created AFG Objects in Brooklyn, experimenting with shapes, glazes, and lighting. His skills developed along with his keen eye for color and materials. The lamps are crafted in a traditional material reconsidered in the 21st century, uniting handmade practice with industrial design.
