Diamond Collection
The Diamond Collection is Designed by Heléne Krantz
Diamond must be considered the jewel in the crown of Orrefors’ range of exquisite modern crystal. An intriguing finesse of the vase and bowl is that they can be placed in two different positions to make them either a sculpture or a functional vessel for flowers or fruit.
 Heléne Krantz (b.1953) studied glass and ceramics at the college of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm. Her interest in glass deepend during a scholarship year at Orrefors in 1986, and two years later she began her career as a designer. Heléne Krantz often works with patterns of small images to give the glass what she terms "rhytm". She has worked in the graal and Ariel art glass techniques and has also developed a technique of her own: Airpocket, a refinement of the venerable Ariel technique.
Examples of her contributions to the collection are her Zaza, Cruise, Quartet, New Corner and Excess series.
