About this work

Ingeborg Lundin joined Orrefors in 1947, the youngest of the firm’s second generation of designers and its first woman. She explained her fresh and spirited style as follows: ‘You can only express certain feelings in glass. You can’t express sad feelings, for instance, because the entire process of making glass is exuberant. I have never seen a sad glass’.
