"It's been exciting for me to work with the fantastic craftsmen of Orrefors. I love watching them create these beautiful crystal stems from my ideas for Amor Vincit Omnia. Every glass is hand made by the skillful team and I assure you, they make thousands and thousands. Fantastic! Traveling the world, meeting people, watching them work, laughing with them, and sharing life stories: this is an endless source of inspiration."
Founded in 1898 on the site of a former iron factory, Orrefors began by producing glass for dishes and technical and medical usage. In 1914, under the guidance of a new owner, Orrefors shifted its focus to making and designing crystal for intricate objets d'art. Handblown glass has thus been produced in this part of Sweden for more than two and a half centuries. From then on, Orrefors began manufacturing new collections using a younger generation of in-house designers. Orrefors joined forces with competing glass manufacturer Kosta Boda in 1990 and has since signed on a string of impressive artists for present and future designs.
