Famous Swedish glass designer Vicke Lindstrand (1904-1983) is recognized as a pioneer in the Swedish glass art world, and his work was featured in multiple Olympic art competitions. In 1950 he joined Kosta Glasbruk as an artistic director before his retirement in 1973. At Kosta, he was the dominant designer, lending his name to many now classic designs. At this point, Lindstrand began to inject more and more colour into his creations, which resulted in iconic designs such as Trees in the Fog and Autumn.
