Isabel Aagaard
Co-founder and Designer at LastObject.
Isabel Aagaard graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Architecture, Design, and Conservation in 2016.
Isabel's mission is to create durable and well-designed products that are reusable. When she and her team discovered the harmful effects of single-use cotton swabs on the environment, they started working on a solution to fix it. In April 2019, they launched LastSwab, the first sanitary, reusable alternative to cotton swabs.
Since then Isabel and the team have released five more products that aim to replace disposable tissues, cotton rounds, and face masks. One by one, Isabel is tackling the single-use items that have become an unfortunate part of our daily routine.
Isabel lives in Copenhagen, Denmark with her husband and their baby boy.
