Orrefors Nobel Aquavit Gold
The Snaps Devil – A series by Gunnar Cyrén.
“What does the devil look like? A devil? Well? It would be best to see one in real life. The result: a black, hairy, crouching figure with a piercing look in its red eyes.”
That’s how the designer Gunnar Cyrén describes the process through which the devil glass in the nobel series took shape. The normal range is consists of the colors red, black, blue, gold, silver and white. In December each year, in con- junction with the Nobel celebrations, Orrefors introduces a new colour, which is exclusively on sale during the following year.
