Our Story
OBAstudios was born out of the desire to create everyday objects that are more than just practical.
Our products combine aesthetics and functionality to make daily life a little more beautiful. Inspired by the small challenges of everyday life, we design pieces that seamlessly merge art and utility. What matters to us is that our products not only look good, but also bring lasting joy and are made responsibly.
OBAstudios was founded in 2018 as a partnership (GbR) by Barbara Jenner and Birgit Ostermeier, who stepped down in 2022 for family reasons. Since then, Barbara Jenner has been running the studio successfully on her own. Her passion for finding simple solutions to everyday problems, along with her sensitivity for materials and craftsmanship, have shaped OBAstudios into what it is today.
Functional design
Our products make everyday life easier.
Through the balance of traditional craftsmanship and modern techniques, we create objects that are practical, durable, and a pleasure to use.
Sustainability promise
We use eco-friendly materials and innovative processes to create products that are both durable and refined. Our minimalist, timeless designs outlast trends and invite everyday inspiration.
Each piece is produced in small batches, locally in Berlin and Fürstenwalde, to keep transport routes short and our footprint light. Because sustainability isn’t a trend – it’s our future.
A small gesture with a lasting impact.
Our products aren't just for keeping for ourselves—many people give them away as gifts. Because we know how difficult it can be to find a special gift. That's why we create things that are not only beautiful but also practical. Whether it's a soap dish that keeps the sink clean or a small everyday helper that brings a smile to someone's face, we want our products to reflect the love and care that goes into every single gesture.
