Orrefors

Since our new project for the next couple of weeks will be a competition for Orrefors, swedens most famous glass manufactorer, Konstfack invited us on a two day trip to Småland, swedens glassriket. We went to viste the Orrefors glassblowing factory, to see how glass is produced, blown and cut or engraved.Coffeebreak in the countryside.Lunch at OrreforsVisite at the factory, and then glass, glass, glass...Dinner at a funny swedish/thai restaurant in the middle of nowhere.In the evening we visited another design school in Pukeberg (not kidding, its really called like that).Today we went to see the Kosta Boda factory where more artistic glass is handblown and also sold in big outlet shops.(But i didn't buy anything)They cut the melted glass with scissors.Afterwards we went to the cellar of the Smålands glassmuseum in Växjö, where one could find a lot of strange oddities.Yes it is what you think it is.
