"For me, Orrefors is focus and elegance." Lena Bergström studied at the Universitiy College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm, with concentrations in textile design and art. She started as an Orrefors designer in 1994. With a sure-handed feeling for design, her pliant, graphical body of work represents a new generation of expression. Lena Bergström has recived Excellent Swedish Design awards for two of her glass collections. She is represented at the Röhsska Museum of Applied Art in Gothenburg. Collection PASTILL COLOUR Fresh, delicate as a spring day, Pastill Colour, Lena Bergström's latest collection of Expo bowls, is a veritable feast tor the eye. "I wanted to step up my format and do something elegant for the living room," says Lena. The bowls, with their transparent, coloured interior and white overlay exterior, are aviable in two sizes. The larger bowls make eye-catching solitaires, while the smaller are more functional. Pastill was introduced in autumn, 2001, and originally came in white with a black interior. Pastill Colour, the new limited-edition Expo Collection, was the result of further experiments with form and colour. Pastill Colour comes in white/red, white/beige, white/light blue and white/lemony green. The larger bowls have been produced in a limited edition of 300 for each colour combination, while the smaller Pastills are limited to a run of 500 bowls of each colour. Collection FLOVERS The name Flovers was coined from a combination of the words Flowers and Lovers. The two cylindrical vases seem deeply in love and cling happily to each other to form a spacious, colourful pillar. Two objects in one - vases for tall bouquetes and, when combined, an elegant sculpture. "I enjoy doing designs with cylindres, both in textiles and glass," says Lena. "Flovers make lovely solitaries, even when they are not in use." The edition is limited to 100 pieces in each colour. Collection Hi-Lo Two object in one. A road, low vase for big bunches of tulips pairs up with a cylinder for tall bouquets. The vases are retained by a sandblasted collar, forming a single unit. Hi-Hi is a development of Lena Bergström's new Hi-Lo vase. Like Hi-Lo, Hi-Hi is a two-in- one piece of clear glass with a sandblasted décor. The deeply blasted bands on the upper and lower section bring the two vases together in a single unit. "When the pair combines, the bands give an impression of depth, suggestive of the massive thickness of the glass," explains Lena. Limited edition of 100 pieces.
