Iris
Design Erika Lagerbielke
The ocean , water , and glass – all form important and fond childhood memories for Erika Lagerbielke . Lagerbielke ’ s memories of swimming and diving , personal reflection , movement , light plays , and optical phenomena , have been integral to her glass art throughout a long stellar career . Among glass lovers in Sweden and internationally , Erika Lagerbielke is recognized and respected for her sensitive elegant expression as well as having an eye for color . “ I enjoy using multiple tones of color in my glass art , frequently combining warm and cold notes ”, Erika Lagerbielke says .
“ Iris is a collection of miniature vases , covering the full color spectrum of the rainbow , stemming from unique works included in my ‘ Blue Planet ’ exhibition at Galleri Glas in Stockholm and at Kosta Boda Art Gallery in 2022 ”, Erika Lagerbielke recounts . “ The pieces are small enough to hold in your hand or to arrange in groups . I have combined frosted and transparent surfaces that interact beautifully . The name Iris is of course that of the rainbow goddess in Greek mythology .” The collection is part of Kosta Boda Artist Collection .
