Glass Mug with Figures by Erik Höglund for Boda, Sweden, 1960s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

Erik Höglund (1932–1998) was one of the brightest stars of 20th-century Swedish glass design. During his years at the Boda glassworks and onwards, he challenged long-standing design conventions with new ideas about shapes, colors, and expressions.

Erik Höglund developed his own distinctive style in the 1950s. The shapes were simple and primordial, often inspired by primitive culture and folksy glass art. The objects were heavy and rustic, without sharp edges or flat surfaces. The glass often took human and sculptural shapes.

Erik used colored glass that was widely enhanced against the light. Air bubbles were present in the glass mass, sometimes induced by the production. He often stamped seals in the glass portraying faces, bulls, and other symbols.

His artistic expression was one of conscious non-perfectionism. Therefore, Erik stood apart from the extremely successful Swedish glass art from the first part of the 20th century.
