Sofiero

Gunnar Cyrén
With Sofiero , Gunnar Cyrén created a lasting Scandinavian glass classic . The collection consists of bowls , a vase , a barware set of three glasses , and a decanter . Sofiero is characterized by its signature deep-cut pattern , which rises all the way to the edge of the vase and bowls , for an appearance reminiscent of a royal crown . Today , Sofiero ’ s status as a classic is reinforced by its connection to the “ For Zealous and Devoted Service of the Realm ” award , where people who have worked for the Swedish government for more than 30 years stand to be awarded with an engraved Orrefors Sofiero bowl . The collection launched in 1960 .
