Glass artist Sven Robert Palmqvist (1906 – 1984) was born in Lenhovda, Sweden. He is best known for his collaboration with the glassworks Orrefors where he started work as an apprentice engraver. Palmqvist went on to study at the Konstfack in Stockholm, and at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts. After a period of time in Paris he returned to the Orrefors Glassworks during the Second World War, where he stayed until his retirement in 1971. Sven Palmqvist is regarded as one of the significant contributors to 20th century Scandinavian glass design. Viewing welcomed - please contact us in advance.
