Orrefors Symphony Stemware, Retired - Last Chance
Description:
Orrefors SymphonyFine CrystalMade in SwedenDesigned by Gunnar CyrenSymphony is a harmonious ensemble that features distinctively rounded forms, pulled stems and a subtle counterpoint of vertical facets that catch and refract the light, the way a symphonic composition interweaves rhythms and melodies. 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.
