Bio:
Paul Kedelv (1917–1990) created the Coquille series as Flygfors’ most iconic contribution to Scandinavian glass design. The large models are especially valued for their complex colour layering, sculptural form, and the technical mastery required to execute them. Today, Coquille stands as a highlight of Swedish mid-century art glass.
