Scandinavian rebel- Erik Höglund a true artist and innovator when it comes to mid-century modern art and design glass.
He was a renaissance artist, not only focusing on art and design glass for various interior design settings. His contributions to, among other things, engravings, colors and down-to-earth, asymmetrical design made him successful in the whole world. During his time in Boda, he also worked with various forms of art and design working with pine, ironwork and furniture. He later also collaborated with other glassworks, for example Pukeberg, Lindshammar, Bodafors and Studioglas Strömbergshyttan to produce some of the most interesting art projects.
His career as a designer
He was recruited by Erik Rosén, and he started to work as a designer attached to Boda glassworks from 1953 to 1973 and came during this time to transform Swedish art glass manufacturing by introducing new ideas about how glass products should look with contemporary design in focus.
In 1968, he and the glass artist Monica Backström founded the design company Backström & Höglund Design AB, with the design of furniture, household utensils and utility items for public environments.
The revolutionary of art and design glass at Boda.
When Erik Höglund came to Boda glasbruk in 1953, no one could have guessed that the young, bold 21-year-old who had just graduated from art school would change Boda's traditional glass production. It would be the beginning of a new era in Swedish glass history, which later also laid the foundation for the first studio glass art production in the USA. Erik Höglund has become known as one of our leading glass designers, but he has also fascinated the outside world with his extensive work in painting, sculpture and forging He has made over 150 public decorations in Sweden and abroad and is represented in interior design museums all over the world.

Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
