Nils Landberg

Nils Landberg was a Swedish glass designer. On completing his studies at the Industrial Design School in Gothenberg, he joined the engraving school at Orrefors and stayed on as a trainee designer. His early commercial work was restrained but in the late 1940s he developed the slender glass for which he is now celebrated. The Tulip series dates from 1953. Over the years new shapes and colours were added regularly to the prototypes. Landberg remained at Orrefors until his reirement in 1972, each year refining his earlier designs and adding new ones.
