The Swedish designer Björn Dahlström (born in 1957) began his career in graphic design, which is evident in his approach towards glass, and in his two- and three-dimensional work as an industrial designer. His breakthrough came with the BD1 lounge chair for CBI Design Sweden, which was awarded Furniture of the Year in 1995. He has designed rugs, bicycles, toys, furniture, and household products for companies including CBI, Atlas Copco, Marimekko, Magis, and Kasthall.

Dahlström’s work is represented at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the United Kingdom, National Museum in Stockholm, Sweden, and the Centre National des Arts Plastiques in Paris, France, among other museums. His numerous distinctions include the 2001 Torsten & Wanja Söderberg Prize – one of the most prestigious design awards in the Nordic region.

For Orrefors, Björn Dahlström has designed Informal. The collection was nominated in 2021 for the Swedish Design Prize in the category of “Identity Product Design” and earned second place (silver).
