SPARKLING DEVILS Design giant Gunnar Cyrén developed the snaps devils in connection with the launch of the new Nobel series in 1991. Despite the connection to Swedish tradition, the Nobel Foundation didn’t want to serve strong spirits at the banquet, so these clever little devils were not added to the series. Instead, the glasses became popular collector’s items among Swedes. After Gunnar’s passing in 2013, his sons found a large number of sketches, including the basis of Sparkling Devils. Sparkling Devils is a new series of champagne glasses for truly festive occasions. The first ones are a pair that complement each other: Him and her. Yin and Yang. In the coming years, six more family members will be released to complete the series.
