SKRUF Vintage mid century 70s art crystal glass candle holder ‘DRIVVED’ by designer Bengt Edenfalk.

Karl Bengt EugeÌn Edenfalk, born December 19, 1924 in Karlskrona, is a Swedish glass designer, painter, graphic artist and sculptor. In 1945 he studied with Edward Hald at Orrefors Glassworks. Then at the National College of Art in Stockholm 1947-1952. He was the first artistic designer for Skruf Glassworks from 1952-1978. There, he developed the famous Thalatta technique which is similar to the Ariel technique but more difficult to master because the design is applied while the glass is hot. He also designed more than 70 different tableware and glass sculptures. He later worked at Kosta Boda 1978-1989, the StroÌmbergshyttan 1990-1995 and at Wilke Adolfsson’s glass studio in Orrefors.

Skruf was founded in 1897 by a former manager from Johansfors, Robert Celander. The company went bankrupt in 1908 and re-emerged from bankruptcy in 1910. A fire completely destroyed the glassworks in 1946, but the company managed to return to production only one year later. Well-known designers such as Bengt Edenfalk, Ingegerd Råman, and Eva-Lena Martinsson have all worked for the company.
