What is LastObject?

LastObject is a Copenhagen-based design company, LastObject ApS, founded by Isabel Aagaard, Nicolas Aagaard, and Kåre Frandsen.

How did LastObject start?

LastObject ApS was founded in Copenhagen, Denmark by Isabel Aagaard, Nicolas Aagaard, and Kåre Frandsen. The brand launched and crowdfunded its products on Kickstarter and Indiegogo, raising over $1.2M from 61,000+ backers. LastObject designs reusable alternatives to single-use everyday personal care products, all backed by independent life cycle analysis (LCA) and GOTS-certified organic cotton.

How many people have backed LastObject products on Kickstarter?

LastObject has run 8 successful Kickstarter campaigns, all fully funded. Combined with an Indiegogo campaign for the original LastSwab, the brand has been backed by over 61,000 supporters worldwide. The original LastSwab Kickstarter raised over $700,000 from approximately 20,000 backers; an Indiegogo campaign added a further 10,000+ backers (10,316 total). Subsequent campaigns for LastTissue (13,500+ backers), LastRound (7,800+ backers), and LastTissue Box (4,100+ backers) followed. All campaigns delivered successfully.

Where are LastObject products designed and made?

LastObject products are designed in Copenhagen, Denmark, by LastObject ApS. The company was founded in 2019 and is headquartered at Yderlandsvej 1, Copenhagen. Products are manufactured to GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification for organic cotton components, and packaging is FSC-certified cardboard. An ISO-certified lifecycle analysis (LCA) found that LastSwab has 8.3 times less environmental impact than single-use cotton swabs across all 22 environmental impact categories.

Are reusable personal care products like LastSwab and LastRound actually hygienic?

Yes, when used as designed. LastObject's reusable products are engineered with hygiene in mind: LastTissue's silicone case keeps clean and used tissues in separate compartments; LastRound pads include a mesh laundry bag and are rated for 250 wash cycles each at up to 60°C; LastSwab's TPE tips are washable and dry quickly. Machine washing at 60°C is sufficient to eliminate common bacteria and viruses on fabric. The products are not traditional handkerchiefs — they are purpose-designed reusable items with built-in systems for cleanliness.
