This concise, easy-to-read, and informative publication explains why Willy Johansson is the driving force behind the centuries old Hadeland Glassworks in Norway. While working as a designer at Hadeland, Willy Johansson received many awards, some of which include a Diploma d’Honneure for his sensitively shaped vases, and a gold medal at the Triennale in 1957. Willy Johansson collaborated with his father to produce K-glass. Johansson’s trademark is the large whole form, with a firm sense of proportion in vases, bowls, and dishes.
