Hadeland Glassworks - Product design
It is impossible to discuss Norwegian design history without mentioning Hadeland Glassverk, a company that has shaped Norwegian culture for more than 260 years. Seen in retrospect, it is impressive that it is still possible to operate a craft industry on almost the same terms as when the business started - especially if we take into account that today many craft professions are on the way to extinction.
This publication is part of the award-winning book series that pays tribute to Norwegian designers who deserve a rightful place in people's consciousness. Norway has a rich design and craft culture that author Mats Linder has immersed himself in. The books are intended as an introduction to the background history and the designer's selected works.
The book has both Norwegian and English text.
Mats Linder is a writer and author and produces books about Norwegian design at a breakneck pace. He wants to focus on design and handicrafts from the Scandinavian countries - Scandinavian Design, and aims to raise interest and knowledge about design from Scandinavia by publishing biographies of designers, company reviews and reproducing old advertising. He also wants to focus on what is moving within the design scene today and interviews designers and business leaders who have something on their mind.
