Zero Interiör was founded in 1978 by founders Roland Gill and Andris Nolendorfs with the vision of making unique light fixtures for a design-interested audience.
The pair meet while working at Orrefors Glasbruk’s department for light fixtures in Flygsfors.
'The founders thought 'Zero' was an appropriate name, since we were starting from nothing.' That headline is a quote from Roland Gill.
While at the glassworks they also became acquainted with designer duo Börge Lindau & Bo Lindekrantz whose task was to create new products, including some new ideas about light fixtures made of 'perforated metal'. Becoming almost a 'trade mark' component to their lighting designs.
Until the mid-1980s, Lindau & Lindekrantz were the only Zero designers. Thereafter a long and prolific collaboration also began with Per Sundstedt, designer and lighting consultant, whose products live on today.
In 1990, Zero’s operations moved to premises in Pukeberg glassworks, which led to an interest in the possibilities of glass. This piece has an attribution mark,
