Skruf Glassworks | |||
|
Skruf is located in the southern part of Småland in the Kingdom of Glass. By 1897, the first glass workshop was in operation in Skruf. The Skruf Glassworks has received one of the highest honors bestowed upon a company by being awarded the position as purveyor to his Majesty the King of Sweden. Ingegerd Råman, one of the former designers at Skruf, has won 17 awards for excellent Swedish design. Her glass is used for royal occasions by the Swedish government and by Swedish embassies around the world. No designer before her has succeeded in designing shapes and forms that look classic at first sight. Among them:
Malin Ringholm is another designer at Skruf. She has designed a her own line of frosted stemware called Perfekt. The lines are smooth and the design simple, yet the matte frost effect dresses up the stemware for any occasion.
The oldest part of Skruf Glassworks has been renovated and is now a museum where you can follow glass development through the
many excellent designers who have worked at Skruf.
