About the artist

Baldwin and Guggisberg

Sweden

Philip Baldwin (1947) and Monica Guggisberg (1955) have been collaborating for forty years, blending art, design, functionality, and abstract expression, with a particular passion for glass. Their work combines Italian cold-working "battuto" and the Swedish overlay process, pioneering techniques in the field. Focused on color, light, texture, and form, their creations evoke deep meaning while maintaining clear, simple lines. Over time, their work has become more sculptural, honoring timeless symbols of human culture while embracing contemporary evolution in form and meaning.
