As the rocky mountains loom majestically over the village, they create a dramatic backdrop that commands respect and admiration. The terrain is rugged and untamed, with steep cliffs, fjords, and deep valleys etched into the landscape by ancient glaciers and powerful natural forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here, in this remote place, a legacy was born in the mid-1970s&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph has-granite-color has-text-color\"><em>*All images by: Aurora Stenersen<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep on reading to get the full story \ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"t2-story-chapter__media-wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"731\" src=\"https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13888-6313594df42f6e2d99c38af3b8640a45-1024x731\/aust_lag_vikten_-14-kopi.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13888-6313594df42f6e2d99c38af3b8640a45-150x107\/aust_lag_vikten_-14-kopi.jpg 150w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13888-6313594df42f6e2d99c38af3b8640a45-300x214\/aust_lag_vikten_-14-kopi.jpg 300w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13888-6313594df42f6e2d99c38af3b8640a45-768x548\/aust_lag_vikten_-14-kopi.jpg 768w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13888-6313594df42f6e2d99c38af3b8640a45-1024x731\/aust_lag_vikten_-14-kopi.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13888-6313594df42f6e2d99c38af3b8640a45-1536x1097\/aust_lag_vikten_-14-kopi.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13888-6313594df42f6e2d99c38af3b8640a45-2048x1463\/aust_lag_vikten_-14-kopi.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13888-6313594df42f6e2d99c38af3b8640a45-1176x840\/aust_lag_vikten_-14-kopi.jpg 1176w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13888-6313594df42f6e2d99c38af3b8640a45-1920x1372\/aust_lag_vikten_-14-kopi.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div style=\"--t2-story-chapter-background:#000000;\" class=\"alignfull media-align-right has-media wp-block-t2-story-chapter has-background has-black-background-color\">\n\t\t<div class=\"t2-story-chapter__content-wrap\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"t2-story-chapter__content-wrap__inner entry-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-the-founderasvar-tangrand\"><mark style=\"background-color:#EC9A30;color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color\">THE FOUNDER<br><\/mark>\u00c5SVAR TANGRAND<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph has-white-color has-text-color\">In the late 1960s, the fisherman \u00c5svar Tangrand brought home some glass shards to use them in a new and creative way. From these shards, he crafted colorful doors and windows, among other things. He participated in the Idebanken exhibition in Oslo in 1968, showcasing a door adorned with glass shards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph has-white-color has-text-color\">During this time, \u00c5svar also developed the &#8220;Lofotruna,&#8221; (rune) a symbol capturing the essence of Lofoten, featuring a human, a fish, and a boat. Initially, the &#8220;Lofotruna&#8221; was created as a wall decoration using wrought iron and glass. His fascination with glass and artistic endeavors led him on a journey to Finland. Alongside other Norwegian artisans, he was introduced to Finnish glass art in Rihimekki in 1974. On his journey back from Finland, \u00c5svar decided to start glassblowing in Lofoten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph has-white-color has-text-color\">In 1976, a glass melting furnace was installed in the basement workshop in Vikten. With valuable assistance from Finnish glassblower Pertti Merilaiinen, whom he had met in Finland, the region&#8217;s first glassblowing workshop was established in the spring of 1976. Around the same time, tourists began to discover the beauty of Lofoten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph has-white-color has-text-color\">Throughout the 1980s, the glass hut experienced significant production, attracting an increasing stream of tourists to Vikten. A vibrant environment dedicated to glassblowing and ceramics took shape. In 1992, the glass production moved to a remarkable new building nestled amidst the coastal stones in Vikten.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"t2-story-chapter__media-wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"531\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13909-cf4683022ebca7753d5e80bfcf93181e-531x800\/fullsizerender-1-e1443789765812.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13909-cf4683022ebca7753d5e80bfcf93181e-100x150\/fullsizerender-1-e1443789765812.jpg 100w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13909-cf4683022ebca7753d5e80bfcf93181e-199x300\/fullsizerender-1-e1443789765812.jpg 199w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13909-cf4683022ebca7753d5e80bfcf93181e-531x800\/fullsizerender-1-e1443789765812.jpg 531w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13909-cf4683022ebca7753d5e80bfcf93181e-531x800\/fullsizerender-1-e1443789765812.jpg 531w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13909-cf4683022ebca7753d5e80bfcf93181e-531x800\/fullsizerender-1-e1443789765812.jpg 531w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13909-cf4683022ebca7753d5e80bfcf93181e-531x800\/fullsizerender-1-e1443789765812.jpg 531w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13909-cf4683022ebca7753d5e80bfcf93181e-531x800\/fullsizerender-1-e1443789765812.jpg 531w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13909-cf4683022ebca7753d5e80bfcf93181e-531x800\/fullsizerender-1-e1443789765812.jpg 531w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13909-cf4683022ebca7753d5e80bfcf93181e-531x800\/fullsizerender-1-e1443789765812.jpg 531w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13909-cf4683022ebca7753d5e80bfcf93181e-531x800\/fullsizerender-1-e1443789765812.jpg 531w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 531px) 100vw, 531px\" \/><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div style=\"--t2-story-chapter-background:#000000;\" class=\"alignfull media-align-left has-media wp-block-t2-story-chapter has-background has-black-background-color\">\n\t\t<div class=\"t2-story-chapter__content-wrap\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"t2-story-chapter__content-wrap__inner entry-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-the-rustic-artisananders-tangrand\"><mark style=\"background-color:#EC9A30;color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color\">THE RUSTIC ARTISAN<br><\/mark>ANDERS TANGRAND<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph has-white-color has-text-color\">The Glass Hut at Vikten stands as a testament to \u00c5svar Tangrand, a visionary artisan who kindled the first flames of glassblowing in Northern Norway.

Stone, metal, and bobbles are woven into each creation, leaving no doubt that uniqueness reigns supreme in this artistic realm.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"t2-story-chapter__media-wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"731\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13887-acdf3739c68c1f98875fd2c18656a989-731x1024\/aust_lag_vikten_-26-kopi.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13887-acdf3739c68c1f98875fd2c18656a989-107x150\/aust_lag_vikten_-26-kopi.jpg 107w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13887-acdf3739c68c1f98875fd2c18656a989-214x300\/aust_lag_vikten_-26-kopi.jpg 214w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13887-acdf3739c68c1f98875fd2c18656a989-768x1075\/aust_lag_vikten_-26-kopi.jpg 768w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13887-acdf3739c68c1f98875fd2c18656a989-731x1024\/aust_lag_vikten_-26-kopi.jpg 731w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13887-acdf3739c68c1f98875fd2c18656a989-1097x1536\/aust_lag_vikten_-26-kopi.jpg 1097w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13887-acdf3739c68c1f98875fd2c18656a989-1463x2048\/aust_lag_vikten_-26-kopi.jpg 1463w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13887-acdf3739c68c1f98875fd2c18656a989-1176x1646\/aust_lag_vikten_-26-kopi.jpg 1176w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13887-acdf3739c68c1f98875fd2c18656a989-1920x2688\/aust_lag_vikten_-26-kopi.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div style=\"--t2-story-chapter-background:#000000;\" class=\"alignfull media-align-right has-media has-full-media wp-block-t2-story-chapter has-background has-black-background-color\">\n\t\t<div class=\"t2-story-chapter__content-wrap\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"t2-story-chapter__content-wrap__inner entry-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\n<p class=\"t2-ingress wp-block-t2-ingress\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-orange-color\">Raw, rough, magnificent!<\/mark><br><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Bringing the landscape into his creations&#8230;<\/mark><\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"t2-story-chapter__media-wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"731\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13883-f3eab13b5c7c4cb4ab13864a32f8bff6-731x1024\/aust_lag_vikten_-2-kopi.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13883-f3eab13b5c7c4cb4ab13864a32f8bff6-107x150\/aust_lag_vikten_-2-kopi.jpg 107w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13883-f3eab13b5c7c4cb4ab13864a32f8bff6-214x300\/aust_lag_vikten_-2-kopi.jpg 214w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13883-f3eab13b5c7c4cb4ab13864a32f8bff6-768x1075\/aust_lag_vikten_-2-kopi.jpg 768w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13883-f3eab13b5c7c4cb4ab13864a32f8bff6-731x1024\/aust_lag_vikten_-2-kopi.jpg 731w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13883-f3eab13b5c7c4cb4ab13864a32f8bff6-1097x1536\/aust_lag_vikten_-2-kopi.jpg 1097w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13883-f3eab13b5c7c4cb4ab13864a32f8bff6-1463x2048\/aust_lag_vikten_-2-kopi.jpg 1463w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13883-f3eab13b5c7c4cb4ab13864a32f8bff6-1176x1646\/aust_lag_vikten_-2-kopi.jpg 1176w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13883-f3eab13b5c7c4cb4ab13864a32f8bff6-1920x2688\/aust_lag_vikten_-2-kopi.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div class=\"alignfull media-align-left has-media has-full-media wp-block-t2-story-chapter\">\n\t\t<div class=\"t2-story-chapter__content-wrap\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"t2-story-chapter__content-wrap__inner entry-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-orange-color\">As the sun sets<\/mark><\/strong> over the horizon, painting the sky with hues of amber and crimson, the Glass Hut Vikten comes to life.
