Erik Höglund

Erik Höglund (1932–1998) was a Swedish designer and sculptor who transformed glassmaking with his bold and expressive style. Studying at the National School of Arts, he broke away from traditional glass design by mixing raw textures, playful motifs and a distinctive sculptural quality. His collaboration with Boda Glassworks (now known as Kosta Boda) in the 1950s established him as a leader in modern glass artistry. Höglund’s works continue to be celebrated for their innovative use of materials and timeless appeal, making him a key figure in Scandinavian design history.
