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, such as the Orrefors Crystal Bar – 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. Orrefors Glassworks was a manufacturer of crystal glassware and art glass in the Swedish village of Orrefors in Smaland. They were founded in 1898 on the site of an older iron works, and until 1913 they produced mainly window glass and bottles. Their first attempts at art glassmaking were in the French style, developing a technique in which air was trapped within the walls of the glass. Called Ariel, after the character in William Shakepseare’s The Tempest, it was inspired directly by Art Nouveau work by the French artist Emile Galle. Their clean lines that suggest a frozen liquid were lauded when they were on display at the Paris Exhibition in 1925, and they have been sought after by collectors ever since. The glassworks closed in 2012, with the Per Ekstrom Museet, an art museum, opening in its place.
