Strömbergshyttan Glassworks is synonymous with mid-century Swedish glass. 
Founded in 1876, it was originally named Lindefors and later became known as Strömbergshyttan in 1933 when Edvard and Gerda Strömberg took over operations. In 1976 it was bought by Orrefors. 
Strömbergshyttan’s pieces can be found in many museum collections, including the Swedish National Museum of Art & Design.
