Göran Wärff's work was characterised by his special interest in preserving the traditional skills of master craftsmen in glassblowing and glass cutting. The play of light within the transparent volume of glass and the optical phenomena that occur when glass diffracts light are a recurring theme in Göran Wärff's artistic and design work. Nature and the play of light in nature are his other main sources of inspiration, beyond glass itself.
