An innovative approach to established techniques characterises Orrefors new design talent, Malin Lindahl
(b. 1973). After studies at the Collage of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm, Malin Lindahl came to
Orrefors on a scholarship in 1999 and has been affiliated to the glassworks since the spring of 2002. The
lustre of clear crystal, its transparency and infinite potential for optical surprises, is what originally
drew her to glass. During her first years at Orrefors, she has looked backwards in time, probing the history
of the glassworks and Swedish folk art. In her new Dizzy Diamond stemware series and vases, she explores the
classic optic technique to produce a set of functional, decorative vases with more than a hint of luxury.
