Copenhagen based aiayu was founded in 2005, by Creative Director Maria Høgh Heilmann, with a love for craftsmanship and natural materials. Pioneering responsibility and rooted in a materials-first philosophy, aiayu creates timeless wardrobe essentials and homeware that transcend seasons. Each piece is meticulously crafted by master artisans, honouring the fibres' regions and resources. aiayu is deeply committed to using pure, natural fibres and nature’s own colour palette, emphasizing best-in-class manufacturing practices, durability and undyed materials—an approach that allows the materials to guide the designs, complimenting the brand’s Scandinavian sensitivity.
