The Gren collection for Svenskt Tenn
In 2011, Solgren designed the nature-inspired Gren (Branch) collection for Svenskt Tenn, featuring pewter candle holders and containers. The series has since expanded to include cutlery.
“The branch as a symbol accompanied me throughout much of my studies at Konstfack, both in spatial installations and as a unique object. One example is the Wood You Like a Cup of Tea teapot, exhibited at the Rossana Orlandi Gallery in Milan, which led to my first collaboration with Svenskt Tenn. With this collection, I wanted to unite the unexpected with the traditional—an approach that, in many ways, echoes the history of Svenskt Tenn.”
