Ingeborg Lundin (1921–1992) was a Swedish glass designer celebrated for her innovative contributions to mid-20th-century Scandinavian glass art. Working for Orrefors, she created the iconic "Apple" vase (1955), a masterpiece of Swedish design known for its elegant simplicity and lightness. Lundin's work is characterized by delicate forms and transparent beauty, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics. Her pieces exemplify the ethos of Scandinavian design, where form meets function in perfect harmony.
