This is the story of an uplifting and playful initiative in Swedish glass history. Come and learn of the wild adventures of the Åfors Rocket and Balloon Club, a society where several of our great designers were members in the 60s and 70s. Bertil Vallien was one of the leading enthusiasts, but the club also included Monica Backström, Erik Höglund, Rolf Sinnemark, Ann and Göran Wärff among others. Experience the club’s hot air balloon “Emilie”, which has not been seen for 20 years, as it graces our largest exhibition hall.” - The Glass Factory, 2022
