New Corner Set
The New Corner Set is Designed by Heléne Krantz
An almond-shaped opening gives vases and a bowl with only two corners! The New Corner series is based on an inverted form of pure, smooth crystal.
 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.
