Studio Arhoj started, in a roundabout way, in Tokyo. Founder Anders Arhoj studied ceramics there before bringing it back to Copenhagen, selling his first “ghost” figurine at a design fair. Today, the Skindergade flagship is a must-stop for any visitor to the city, tucked into the old university quarter a few steps from Rundetårn, where you can watch the glass blown and ceramics glazed as you shop.

The shop is an explosion of color. Densely packed shelves and tables of mugs, bowls, vases, and the studio’s signature drip-glazed ghosts in every colorway imaginable. It’s an easy stop for a souvenir or gift, but a hard decision with the abundance of choice. Aesthetically, it’s playful, contemporary, the kind of souvenir worth placing on a mantle that has come to be an IYKYK symbol of a generation of city travelers.
