An Overview of Erik Höglund’s People Series
Erik Höglund (1932–1998) designed many classics for the Swedish Boda glassworks. One of the most well-known series is People from 1957. It consists of sculptural decanters with geometric forms, unicolored glass, and joyous expression.
The people come in five different colors: amber, blue, clear, gray, or green. The glass mass often contains induced air bubbles. Most of the decanters have stoppers with stamped faces. The arms are added glass strings with no desire for symmetry.
Erik’s people were either free-blown or mould-blown. On the lower side, they are marked with the model number. Which of the decanters is your favorite?
