Description: With 40 years as a glass designer behind her, Ann Wåhlström inspires a varying medley of associations with her new glass collection, comprising 36 stones, teardrop shaped or cylindrical vessels. There are 14 of the former, and with their asymmetrical and organic forms, they deviate from the earlier, fairly austere geometrical look. Her classic, rather strict range has gained new movement, while the cylinders and teardrop shapes become increasingly refined in appearance, offering sharper formulations of her preferences. The scale is surprising while the tone is subdued, with a few exceptions. The two red cylinders and teardrop-shaped vessels are a nod to the historic French Baccarat. Something both elusive and generous emerges in the charisma of these unpredictable forms. Exhibition: Galleri Glas, Stockholm, Sweden (07.09.-26.10.2017).
