Simon Gate, a renowned Swedish glass artist, created the "Tusen Fönster" (Thousand Windows) series for Orrefors in the 1930s.

This series is known for its unique engravings, reminiscent of a thousand windows, which refract light in a fascinating way. Gates' artworks are masterpieces of glass art that impress with precision and sophistication. The "Tusen Fönster" objects, be they vases or bowls, testify to Gates' ability to transform glass into artistic sculptures.

This series remains a timeless example of Swedish glass design, combining elegance and creative skill in perfect harmony.
