'THE ORREFORS DESIGNERS WHOSE WORK WE FEATURE MOST
Erika Lagerbielke
Erika Lagerbielke is the queen of Orrefors stemware. No other designer has created as many series of stemware for Orrefors and no one has matched her success in doing so. Her successes include Intermezzo, Merlot and Difference, which have all received accolades for their designs.
The key to Erika’s success is probably her great love of glassmaking craftsmanship and her knowledge of the different characteristics of various drinks. The glasses are carefully designed to bring out the characteristics (scent, taste) of the particular wine for which they are intended. We can vouch for this from experience, having attended a superb demonstration given by Erika herself.
Lena Bergström
Lena Bergström is one of Sweden’s most award-winning and productive designers. Utility glass, art glass, lighting, textiles, jewellery and decoration of public spaces – nothing seems impossible for Lena. With an infectious personality and love of the materials and craftsmanship, she approaches each assignment with the same energy.
Lena’s visual vocabulary is like her: soft, hard, feminine, masculine, modern and beautiful – all at the same time. She always bases her work on the properties of the material and constantly tries to find new forms of expression in cooperation. With the skilled glassmakers at Orrefors. Lena values a votive produced in large numbers just as highly as limited-edition art glass.
