**Design Heritage:**
Strömbergshyttan glassworks, an iconic name in mid-century Swedish glass, has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1876 as 'Lindefors.' In 1933, the dynamic duo Edvard and Gerda Strömberg revitalized the struggling glassworks during the Great Depression, with Edvard's expertise and Gerda's design prowess. Gerda's international recognition as a designer solidified at Strömbergshyttan, where her minimal and functional forms set the tone for the glassworks' success. After Edvard's passing, Asta Strömberg, Erik's wife, continued the legacy with renowned designs like the Sputnik and Diamond series. Gunnar Nylund, as Artistic Director from 1954 to 1967, elevated the glassworks with his exquisite Shark Tooth series. The company remained in the Strömberg family until its acquisition by Orrefors in 1976, leaving a lasting legacy seen in prestigious museum collections worldwide. Notably, pieces from Strömbergshyttan grace the Swedish National Museum of Art & Design, the Met in New York, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
