Märta-Stina Danielsson (ed), 'Svenskt glas', Wahlström & Widstrand, see the model illustrated p 291. Behind Matz Borgström's 'Ormtjusare' hides a real story. Mats was in Malaysia on a design assignment in a carpentry shop. The roof of the house rested on piles without walls. Sometimes a snake could coil in. To get rid of the uninvited guest, a snake charmer was allowed to lure the snake with his flute.

Matz Borgström (b.1954) is educated at Birmingham Polytechnic and Konstfack. He was for several years associated with Orrefors (1984-90) where he became known for the bowl Capra. In the years 1991–92, he was artistic director at Lindshammar's glassworks and from 1992 collaborated with Transjö Hytta. He was one of the creators of the design program at Beckmans School of Design and worked for a period as a lecturer at the School of Design, Umeå University.
