About Aarke

Aarke means ”everyday” in Southern Sami, a language spoken by only 500 people in the north of Sweden. The Aarke brand was founded by two industrial designers, Jonas Groth and Carl Ljungh, with the objective to design, produce and sell premium household appliances, a category that has been forgotten by the design community. The first product, the Aarke Sparkling water maker, was launched in collaboration with AGA Gas, the classic Swedish gas company, in late 2016.

Sparkling Water Maker

Stainless Steel Enclosure

This is the world’s first sparkling water maker designed with a complete stainless steel enclosure. Forget the plasticky soda makers of the past. This machine will look beautiful for years to come on your kitchen counter.

Really Slim Design

We have designed the Aarke sparkling water maker from the inside and out to become extremely compact. This is one of the secrets behind its good looks. Despite its compact design, the Aarke machine features a unique safety system consisting of 3 independent safety valves.

Just Push The Leaver

The lever both carbonates the water and automatically releases the pressure in the bottle. Just push the lever and hold it until you hear a buzz, then release it and unscrew the bottle from the machine.It couldn’t be simpler.

Polished or Matte Black

Aarke sparkling water maker comes in two colors; polished steel and a beautiful powder coated matte black.
