  • Design

    The Unite Hope angel was created by artist and designer Lehna Edwall in 2004. One year later the sculpture began to be used in connection with the global art project “Unitehopeproject,” initiated by Lehna. The angel became a symbol of hope, peace and compassion. By travelling with the angel and giving it away as a gift to a person, a place and its people, its message is spread, uniting people all over the world. The original sculpture is 70 centimetres high, weighs 40 kilogrammes and is cast in concrete. Svenskt Tenn’s smaller version fits on a table or in a glass cabinet and is made of timeless pewter or brass. Find out more about Lehna’s art project: www.unitehopeproject.com.

  • Care instructions

    Pewter is a soft material that requires careful treatment. We recommend using cotton gloves when handling pewter. Objects that are not being used can be stored in a plastic or felt bag to avoid scratching.

    It is generally recommended to avoid using polish on pewter, since it can cause scratches. To remove fingerprints and other stains, rinse the pewter in warm water with a small amount of dish detergent. Dry with a soft cloth. For more advanced cleaning of pewter objects we recommend a professional restorer, for example, KA Johnsson in Stockholm.

  • Sustainability and manufacturing

    Material

    Pewter

    The metal pewter has been used since ancient times and is extracted from the mineral cassiterite. Throughout the manufacturing process of Svenskt Tenn’s pewter objects, waste is minimised and whatever metal scrap remains is sent to recycling. Excess pewter can be melted down and used once again. The family-owned company Freitas in Portugal manufactures some of Svenskt Tenn's pewter items, and the company follows EU rules and regulations when it comes to production of pewter.

    This is how pewter objects are manufactured at Freitas

    At Freitas, several craftsmen work with the production of Svenskt Tenn's objects. The prototypes are made by hand without templates and molds. Once the prototypes are made, they manufacture specific molds for casting or spinning. Sometimes different parts need to be soldered together before the objects are engraved, polished, cleaned and finally checked and approved before they are sent to Svenskt Tenn.

    Sustainability in focus
