Jan Johansson
  Jan Johansson (born 1942) came to Orrefors in 1969 after training as a silversmith in Stockholm at the College of Arts, Crafts and Design. As an artist, he is interested in refining the optical effects of pure, sculptural crystal, as in his cut-glass Cascade, Horizon and Marin series.
Cut crystal sculptures set on a solid marble stand are an important component of his art glass production. Jan Johansson has actively sought new means of expression and has broadened the range of the Fuga technique.
One of his more recent successes is the Balans series, which, with its drop-shaped stem, lends balance both to the design and the hand.
