A presentation

I have been working with glass for over 30 years. Right from the very beginning I was seduced by this magical material and its unending possibilities. In 1982, after five years study, I started Eldoluft (Fire&Air) Glass Studio in Båstad, Sweden.

I work with both one-off Art as well as handcrafted functional and decorative ware.

In my handcrafted everyday pieces I aim to balance function with esthetics. The feel in your hand is as important as the look.

My Art pieces speak for themselves.
