Jan Johansson (b. 1942) came to Orrefors in 1969 after trainingas a silversmith in Stockholm at the
Collage if Arts, Crafts and Design. As an artist, he is interested in refining the optical effects
of pure, sculptural crystals, as in his cut-glass Horizon and Marin series. Cut crystal sculptures
set on a solid marble stand are an important component of his art glass production. Jan Johansson has
actively sought new means of expression and has broadened the range of the Fuga techniuqe. In his new
bowls Nothern Lights he has taken his inspiration from Swedish light and the cold Swedish climate.
The result is four glistening gems of pure, massive crystal.
