Fredrik Nielsen redefines glassblowing at his industrial studio in Årsta, Stockholm, blending music and performance with the craft. During Stockholm Design Week 2025, designboom engaged in a hands-on workshop, witnessing how Nielsen incorporates chance and unexpected elements into his work. His artistry challenges traditional views by transforming everyday objects into sculptures filled with hidden complexities. The intense, energetic environment of his studio adds to the rawness of the glassblowing experience, allowing for mistakes and surprises that ultimately redefine viewer perceptions of glass as a dynamic, alive material.
During Stockholm Design Week 2025, designboom visited Nielsen's studio and had the opportunity to craft a piece alongside the artist in real time.
Nielsen aims to reshape perceptions of glass, proving it can be wild, rebellious, and alive through his innovative and instinctual approach to glassblowing.
