Göran Wärff, born in 1933, is one of Sweden’s most renowned and influential glass designers.

The Mirage Collection
Göran Wärff’s Mirage collection is a shining example of his unique approach to glass design. This collection is known for its ethereality and the play of light and color that comes to life in each piece. The vases in the Mirage collection are made using advanced glassblowing techniques that combine different layers of glass to create an illusion of depth and movement.
Technology and Materials
The Mirage vase, like many of Wärff's creations, uses the "Sommerso" technique. This involves encapsulating a colored core in clear glass, creating a beautiful visual effect. The color of the vase can vary, but often we see a harmonious color gradient reminiscent of the natural world, such as blues and greens reflecting the sea and sky. The finish is usually smooth and glossy, which contributes to the illusion of a mirage.
