Love is Divine
Divine is the Orrefors tribute to the Swedish Royal
Wedding 2010. Fittingly, the designer, Erika Lagerbielke
also created the Parliament's and Government's gift to
H.R.H. Crown Princess Victoria and Mr. Daniel Westling.
The Divine collection is a sparkling, classical-style set
of glasses, each idiosyncratically elegant, and each
bearing a hand-painted crystalline decoration: the
contents seem to be resting in a bowl of light. The
glasses are crafted in Småland's Kingdom of Glass,
their form a proud manifestation of the glassworks'
unique handicraft expertise.
"I wanted to create a glass that was elegant and
sensual, something memorable for both eye and hand,"
says Erika Lagerbielke. "An overt simplicity, yet
something totally full of wonder".
Celebrated both in Sweden and abroad, Erika
Lagerbielke has had a long and successful career. Her
stemware designs manifest her impressive knowledge
of beverages and of how culinary mores have
developed over time. Her previous successes include
Intermezzo, Merlot and Difference. Divine is designed
to enhance the experience of the meal, not only by
bringing out the bouquet and taste of the drink, but
just as importantly by creating an elegant and festive
atmosphere by means of the form and function of the
glass.
"A beautiful glass enhances the entire dinner table
experience. A beautifully laid table is a perfect way of
showing consideration for your guests," says Erika
Lagerbielke.
The Divine collection consists of champagne flutes,
champagne coupes, glasses for white and red wine and
for sweet wine and water, as well as both a water and a
wine decanter.
