Ingeborg Lundin

Ingeborg Lundin (1921-1992) joined Orrefors in 1947 as the first female designer to be hired by the company. She had previously trained as a designer in Stockholm. Her work displayed great versatility, and often a light, whimsical quality.

Lundin's engraved pieces on clear crystal involving abstract doodles and random drawings were very unique. She also designed some fascinating tableware including the Hourglass stemware. During the 1960's she began a series of designs using colored, geometric or abstract motifs formed in heavy, clear crystal by the Ariel or Graal techniques.

Ingeborg Lundin was awarded the Lunning prize in 1954. She left Orrefors in 1971. Particularly important were her "Apple", "Melon" and "Faces" vases.
