About ... Flygsfors
The Flygsfors glassworks was founded in Sweden in 1888 by Ernst Wiktor Lundqvist and August Zeitz. The company changed hands several times and started making tableware in 1930 under the name AB Flygsfors Glasbruk. Willem G. de Moor became artistic director of Flygsfors in 1939, and Paul Kedelv joined him in 1949 after working at Orrefors. Among Paul Kedelv's designs for Flygsfors, by far his best known is the Coquille range. Flygsfors was purchased by Orrefors in 1974 and closed in 1979.
