Zoo Collection
The Zoo Collection is Designed by Martti Rytkönen
The perfect christening present! A whole new collector’s series of friendly animals from climates hot and cold. The animals in Martti’s ark are stylised and distinctly modern in outline, and everyone will be able to find their favourite.
Martti Rytkönen (b.1960) studied glass and ceramics at the College of Arts, Crafts and design, although it was glass that eventually captured his heart. He came to Orrefors on a scholarship and was taken on at the glassworks in 1994. Pure, clear crystal is his imaginative medium of choise, one wish he cuts, etches, sandblasts and engraves to bring forth new graphical motives and effects; but he also works with color, employing art glass teqniques such as Graal, Ariel and Ravenna.
His motives are often narrative and full of humour. Martti has designed the heavy crystal collections Triangle, Drop. Other designes are Papillon, that floats on the table like a butterfly with outspread wings and the Ramses Family pieces.
