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's design is represented at the Swedish National Museum of Art and Design.
