Spring news from Orrefors 2011
Orrefors is the master of crystal, and Lena Bergström’s Crystal Dance showcases both Swedish design and Swedish craftsmanship of the highest quality. The shapes are pure and simple and the only embellishment is the classic cut of the crystal. In Erika Lagerbielke’s chic limited edition glasses we meet the elegant side of Orrefors, in which colour and shape unite in understated harmony.
Add a shine to spring with pure elegance and classic style from the historic Orrefors company.
Crystal Dance/Swing – Vases and bowl
Design: Lena Bergström
A vase with a clear, functional and simple shape, decorated with a dynamically cut spiral that dances around the crystal. In recent years Lena Bergström has created ornamental pieces for the home. She started with Crystal Handbags, on which the cut details symbolised her family’s character. She continued with the incredibly popular Carat series and now she has transferred the classic cut detailing to majestic vases. A beautiful adornment for a table setting.
Crystal Dance/Tango – Vases and bowl
Design: Lena Bergström
A bowl and two vases in high-quality crystal. The criss-cross pattern cut into the crystal produces glittering reflections and the lustre in the classic cut detailing is magical. Just like in the Swing series, Lena Bergström propels Orrefors into the future with her unfailing sense of style in her designs, mixed with creative curiosity about the craftsmanship involved that stretches back many years.
Intermezzo Blue and Satin
Design: Erika Lagerbielke
These series of glasses are available in new user-friendly two-packs. They are two of the most popular Orrefors series of all time.

Bon Bon – Vase
Design: Ingegerd Råman
Edition: 300
In 2010 the popular designer Ingegerd Råman celebrated her 10th anniversary as a designer at Orrefors and launched the limited Bon Bon series to mark her 10 successful years. It comprises 10 different small vases – each of which has a unique look and demonstrates the diversity of famous glass craftsmanship from Orrefors. They illustrate blasting, painting, cutting and engraving techniques – all done by hand by skilled glassmakers at Orrefors glassworks. Bon Bon is a decorative jewel for your table and a tribute to this craftsmanship. Spring 2011 will see the launch of another Bon Bon: a beautiful black vase decorated with Ingegerd’s famous “sun-snow” pattern.
Desire, Innocence and Simplicity – Vases
Design: Erika Lagerbielke
Edition: 60–200
In this limited edition series, Erika Lagerbielke illustrates her renowned sense of colour and shape. In Desire the colours used are transparent pink and purple, embellished with hand-painted leaves in gold. The colour chosen for Innocence is a fresh blue with leaves painted in platinum, and Simplicity is a warm shade of grassy green with platinum painted details. In all three series, the base of the leafy pattern is covered with Erika’s now well-known ice decoration that creates a glittering and exclusive look.
