Johansfors
Johansfors, which was founded in 1891, is perfused with a quiet spirit of enterprise.
Even today, framed black-and-white photographs hang on the walls to give a face to past
generations who have worked here.
The work available at the glassworks was vital to the livelihood of the people in the
surrounding village. At first, production concentrated on painted glass and later on
cut and engraved crystal.
By the heat of the furnaces, using only simple tools, the craftsmen produced a wide variety
of products that bear witness to their skills. Several of these early pieces are on show in
the museum, which is situated in the glassworks grounds.
At Johansfors, tradition lives on and is today the basis for innovative, forward-looking design.
