More information

"How does the creature look? A devil? How so? It would be best if one could see a living one. The result was a black, hairy figure squatting."
This is how Gunnar Cyrén himself described how the devil glass in the Nobel service got its shape. The first glass, the black one, was released in 1996. Originally, only seven glasses were to be included in the series, one hand devil and six dog devils. In conjunction with the Nobel Prize's centenary, a dark green glass with a limited edition was released, and in 2008 it was decided that a new colour would be released each year and would only be manufactured during that particular year. To ensure the series still contained seven glasses, the purple glass was removed from the standard set. Since then, a new colour has been released every year until 2018 when the last glass in the series was released, this one in metallic brown.

Designer

Gunnar Cyrén (1931-2013) was a Swedish glass artist, silversmith and industrial designer. He worked for Orrefors glassworks between 1959 and 1970, then designed plastics for a few years and then returned to Orrefors in 1977. Highlights of his design career include "Pop glass" or "Cups with colored legs" (1966-1968) and "The Nobel Service" (1991). Over the years, Gunnar Cyrén has participated in several exhibitions in Sweden and abroad and received the King's scholarship in 1962, the Lunning prize in 1966 and the Prince Eugén medal in 1988. He is appointed professor by the government. In his hometown of Gävle, where he also had a gallery and a gold and silver smithy, he has been honored with his own room at the County Museum.
