Bertil Vallien

Anders Pehrson (1912-1982). He was born in Gothenburg and later became an engineer. Pehrson was the Design manager at Philips AB from 1952 to 1963.
In 1963 he became the owner but also the head of design at ateljé Lyktan. He remained there until 1978. Pehrson's guiding principles regarding design were form, function, color, and family.
Pehrson became known not only as a talented designer but he was also very skilled at marketing his business. The lamp model Pehrson is most well known for today is probably his design 'Bumlingen'. Bumlingen has been produced in countless variations and colors over the years.

Bertil Vallien (b. 1938) is a Swedish glass designer and ceramicist. He pursued his studies at Konstfack in Stockholm as well as on study trips to Denmark and the USA. In the 1960s, Vallien worked at Boda glassworks as an assistant to Erik Höglund, and was later linked to Åfors glassworks. Vallien works primarily in glass and has developed a distinctive style of sandcast glass sculptures, often depicting boats and heads. His sculptures have a kind of inner glow that lingers in the memory. Vallien is represented around the world and has been awarded the prize "Visionaries! Award" in 2001. Bertil was married to the artist Ulrica Hydman-Vallien.
