Gunnar Cyrén

"What does the devil look like? A devil? What then? It would be best if you saw a living thing. The result was a black, hairy figure squatting."
This is how Gunnar Cyrén himself described how the "Devil" glasses in the Nobel tableware got its shape. The first glass, the black one, came out in 1996. Originally, only seven glasses would be included in the series, a
male devil and six female devils. By the Nobel Prize's 100th anniversary, a dark green glass in a limited edition was introduced and in 2008 it was decided that a new colour would come out every year and that would only be produced during the current year. In order for the series to continue to contain seven glasses, the purple glass was based on 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 last one in brown metallic.
