CREATORS
* Victor Emanuel Lindstrand (Swedish, 1904–1983) - designer
Initially trained in graphic design at Gothenburg’s Konstindustriskolan (School of Arts & Crafts), Vicke Lindstrand began designing for Orrefors Glasshouse (est. 1898) in 1928. By 1930 his modernist inspired designs were praised at the Stockholm Exhibition. Lindstrand went on to display his designs at the world’s fairs in Paris (1937) and New York (1939). In the mid-1930s Lindstrand began designing ceramics for various Swedish porcelain manufactories such as Upsala-Ekeby (1886-1980).
* Orrefors Glasshouse (Swedish, est. 1898) - manufacturer
Established in 1898 in the Swedish region, Småland, Orrefors became the most prominent producer of Swedish modern art glass in the 20th century. At the height of Orrefors’s popularity in the 1930s through 1960s, the firm’s designers boasted prestigious awards from many world’s fairs. The firm is associated with the development of the Graal and Ariel glass techniques, both considered distinctly Swedish styles of art glass. Since 1997, the firm has operated under the Danish design manufacturer, Royal Scandinavia. The Småland-based manufacturer closed in 2013.
