  • Sobre arte
    A free blown crystal art object / vase "Colora" with encapsulated turquoise-coloured geometric decoration, model LH 1674. Designed by Vicke Lindstrand and executed by the Swedish glass factory Kosta, presumably in the 1960s.

    The "Colora" line consisted of two sizes. A large size, model LH 1674 and a smaller size LH 1673 and were designed the Vicke Lindstrand in the late 1950s.

    This specimen is the largest model (LH 1674) in good vintage condition. It's either unsigned or the signature (etching) has become illegible. Hence the relatively low price for this very sought after piece.


    About Vicke Lindstrand
    Vicke (Viktor Emanuel) Lindstrand (Gotheborg, Sweden 1904 - Kosta, Sweden 1983) was a prominent Swedish glass designer and artist.

    He received his education at the Technical School for Glass and Ceramics and went on to work as an artistic director at the Swedish glass company Orrefors. Throughout his career, Lindstrand developed a reputation as one of Sweden's most talented glass designers, known for his innovative use of traditional glassblowing techniques and his ability to create pieces that were both aesthetic and functional.

    One of Lindstrand's most famous designs is the series of vases that he created for Orrefors in the 1930s. These vases are known for their simple yet elegant shapes, and their use of bright, vibrant colours. They were unlike anything that had been seen before in the glassware industry, and helped to establish Orrefors as a leader in the Scandinavian design movement. Lindstrand's work was highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts, and his pieces are still considered to be some of the most important examples of 20th-century Swedish glass design.

    Throughout his career, Lindstrand received numerous awards and honors for his work. He was a member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Sweden, and his work was exhibited in museums and galleries around the world.

  • Sobre artista

    Victor Emanuel Lindstrand, conhecido como Vicke Lindstrand (27 de novembro de 1904 em Gotemburgo - 7 de maio de 1983 em Kosta) foi um designer de vidro sueco, designer têxtil e de cerâmica e pintor. Ele é considerado um pioneiro da arte do vidro sueco. Seu trabalho fez parte das competições de arte nos Jogos Olímpicos de Verão de 1932 e nos Jogos Olímpicos de Verão de 1936.

    Quando criança, Lindstrand se interessava por desenho. Ele estudou arte comercial e trabalhou em ilustração comercial antes de iniciar sua carreira no fabricante de vidro Orrefors em 1928. Ele foi pioneiro em designs de vidro artístico mais ousados ​​em Orrefors e junto com Edvin Öhrström e Knut Bergqvist ele inventou a técnica Ariel.

    Em 1950, ele se juntou à Kosta Glasbruk como diretor artístico antes de se aposentar em 1973. Na Kosta, ele era o designer dominante, emprestando seu nome a muitos designs agora clássicos. Nesse ponto, Lindstrand começou a injetar cada vez mais cor em suas criações, o que resultou em designs icônicos como Trees in the Fog e Autumn.

    Ele passou os últimos 10 anos de sua vida como artista freelance trabalhando com Hanne Dreutler e Arthur Zirrnsack no Studio Glashyttan em Åhus.

    Ele fez sua estreia como designer na Feira Mundial de Estocolmo em 1930, onde apresentou doze vasos de vidro com decoração de esmalte em padrões exóticos. Por isso recebeu grande atenção de publicações internacionais de design.

    Lindstrand acrescentou novas dimensões artísticas ao já famoso vidro Orrefors com seus designs exclusivos e a revitalização de formas e técnicas clássicas. Durante seu tempo em Orrefors, ele trabalhou em vidro gravado e vasos Graal. Com o escultor Edvin Öhrström desenvolveu a nova técnica Ariel (batizada por sua esposa atriz Kristina).

    Orrefors não podia manter Lindstrand durante a guerra e, entre 1943 e 1950, tornou-se líder criativo em Uppsala Ekeby, onde projetou muitos objetos de grés diferentes, desde potes a esculturas figurativas.
