"My shapes and decors tell a story to the audience."
Martti Rytkönen (b 1960) studied both glass and ceramics at Konstfack in Stockholm, but glass
captured his heart. He came to Orrefors on a scholarship and was hired in 1994. Pure, clear crystal
is his imaginative medium of choice, one which he cuts, etches, sandblast and engraves to bring forth
new graphical motifs and effects. He also works in coloured red glass, employing art glass techniques
such as Graal, Ariel and Ravenna. His motifs are often narrative and full of humour. Matti has designed
the Sigma and the Avenue series.
