Her glassware is generally thin and light in appearance, and the forms are simple, but they are rich and lively in color. She uses the graal technique, sandblasting, and engraving. The Orrefors Glassworks have a special room with the same natural sunlight of the studio where she works. A large uninterrupted series of Ingeborg Lundin's glassware can be seen at the National Museum, Stockholm."

"INGEBORG LUNDIN
SWEDEN

Ingeborg Lundin was educated at the
Broms School of Art in Helsinki. Shortly after finishing her studies she was
associated with Orrefors Glassworks, where
she has remained for many years. Ingeborg
Lundin ranks amongst the most important
of the younger generation of Swedish glass-
designers. With artistic simplicity, inspired by grace
and femininity, she has created objects of
purely decorative glass design. Her main
interest lies in the creation of new shapes
for the table, such as bowls, vases, and
candlesticks. She is also interested in the
development of new techniques, and her
experiments with colored glass have resulted
in a series of original works of great beauty.
Ingeborg Lundin has been awarded several
prizes and her work is represented in many
important collections at home and
abroad. Several of her works are on
permanent display at the National Museum, Stockholm."
