Metropol Tumbler: A Versatile and Timeless Addition to Your Glassware Collection
Metropol Tumbler from Orrefors, available as a set of 2, holds 8 oz and is an all-purpose glass ideal for a wide variety of drinks. It is a great complement to the wine glasses in the collection if used as a water glass. The tumbler is mouth-blown in Sweden by expert glassblowers and inspired by Erika Lagerbielke’s classic Intermezzo design, but with a more angular and austere shape and a drop of black sealed inside the base.
The Designer: Erika Lagerbielke
Erika Lagerbielke (born in 1960) studied industrial design at one of Sweden's most prestigious art and design universities. Today, she is a professor in design at Linnaeus University in Växjö, Sweden, where she works with education and research in areas including the artifacts and culture of the meal, dining environments as generators of value, and the sustainable development of glass. Lagerbielke began her collaboration with Orrefors in 1982, during her studies, and had her major breakthrough with the Intermezzo collection already in 1984. Her most acclaimed special projects include the wedding gift to Swedish Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel Westling from the Swedish Parliament and government in 2010, Linnaeus University’s vice-chancellor chain in 2010, and a special set for the Michelin restaurant Operakällaren in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2020. Lagerbielke has received the Excellent Swedish Design award three times, for Orrefors Intermezzo in 1985, Orrefors Merlot in 1995, and Orrefors Difference in 2002 (special prize). For her Orrefors collections, she has also won a Formex Formidable award in Sweden, International Tabletop Award in Dallas, and the Deco Home Award – Produkte des Jahres in Germany. In addition, she has won the Prince Eugen Medal from King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden for outstanding artistic achievement (2010), as well as the City of Stockholm St. Erik’s Medal (2014). Lagerbielke’s collections Intermezzo, Difference, Metropol, Beer, Merlot, Enjoy and More are currently in the Orrefors assortment.
