Gunnar Cyrén (1931-2013) was an award-winning Swedish product designer who initially trained as a metalsmith in Stockholm. He has, however, produced products in glass, wood and plastic.
He designed primarily for well-known Scandi makers, Orrefors and Dansk. My favourite designs of his are the series of silver plate animal figures for Dansk; they include hippos, pelicans, camels, blue whales, pigs, frogs, giraffes, antelope and elephants. Many come up for sale on eBay.
