Erik Höglund

Erik Höglund was a pioneering Swedish glass artist and designer who worked for a time at Strömberghyttan Glassworks. He is known for breaking traditional norms in glass design and introducing a more rustic, artistic expression in Swedish glass art.

At Strömberghyttan, Erik Höglund created works characterized by powerful shapes, roughly blown glass, and often symbols or figures pressed into the glass surface. His work included everything from sculptural glass objects to utility glass, always with a personal and experimental style.

Erik Höglund's time at Strömberghyttan helped to renew the artistic profile of the glassworks, and his unique glass works are today highly valued in both Swedish and international design history.
