Crafting life into art.

Gifts beyond the ordinary.

Custom Ode

Art & Design.

Celebrate passion. Celebrate ambition. Celebrate love.

Welcome to my world where I transform memories, happenings and achievements into tangible objects.

Celebrating life's milestones and accomplishments and letting them shine centre stage. Like personal awards for your house or office.

A Custom Ode is similar to a tattoo. It stands for something your proud off, you don’t want to forget, look back on and reminisce with.

‘Special moments deserve

the spotlight.’

Joanna Toetenel  || Custom Ode

‘Hi there, I’m Joanna!

I create my objects through a collaborative process of a custom interview and a visual taste test.

To construct my Odes I work with local, skilled artisans that can create anything I come up with.

So sky’s the limit.’

Your Story

Sometimes there are moments that hit you, moments that you don’t want to forget. They give you chills, they make you sparkle and bring a smile to your face.

These moments can be life-changing milestones or just simple small things you never want to forget - moments in life that should last forever.

Why not make those moments more than just a memory but create them an ode?

With Custom Ode we do just that, we make moments last forever. No-one likes it when the party ends right?

Well, that feeling, is exactly what the contemporary art pieces by Custom Ode encapsulate.

Giving you the feeling that your personal special life-changing moments never have to end.

A Custom Ode is the perfect personal and custom gift to celebrate a birth or the start of something new but also to celebrate a lasting friendship, to give an ode to someone’s passion or, well,  anything worth capturing.
