artist biography
Bengt Orup (1916–1996) was a Swedish painter, graphic artist, sculptor, and glass designer, and one of the leading figures in the Skåne avant-garde after the Second World War.

Born on January 30, 1916, in Lindesberg, Orup was the son of headmaster Birger Orup and Dagny Nilson. He married Teddi Flygare in 1939. Initially abandoning his secondary school studies to train as a commercial artist, he soon shifted toward painting and studied at Otte Sköld’s Painting School in Stockholm (1934–1935), which laid the foundation for his artistic career.

A formative stay in Paris from 1937 to 1938 was followed by numerous study trips abroad — including France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, and the Netherlands — that exposed him to international modernism. He made his exhibition debut in 1941 with a solo show in Helsingborg, and soon became a provocative and experimental presence in the art scene of southern Sweden.

Orup’s early works, often landscapes and architectural motifs, were painted in a naïve, expressionist style with simplified forms and muted planes of colour. By the late 1940s, influenced by Paul Klee, his work moved toward abstraction, with stylised figures bound in networks of black linear ornament before developing into more purely geometric compositions. His paintings were characterised by bold colour contrasts or restrained palettes of black, grey, and white.

Finding easel painting too limited, Orup increasingly turned to decorative and architectural projects. He created mosaics, wall paintings, stucco decorations, and sculptural commissions for public spaces. From 1952 he served as artistic director at Johansfors Glasbruk in Småland, where he developed innovative glass designs and large-scale compositions, helping to define postwar Swedish glass art.

Orup was central to the renewal of Skåne’s art scene. Alongside Torsten Hult and Kaj Siesjö, he co-founded the group Grupp III, organizing exhibitions and publishing prints and writings. He exhibited widely in Sweden, including solo shows in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, Helsingborg, and other cities, and internationally in Chicago, New York, Paris, Zurich, Sydney, and Philadelphia. He participated in the traveling exhibition Swedish Abstract in the United States (1955–56), further cementing his international reputation.

Bengt Orup is represented at, among others, the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the National Museum, the Moderna Museet,  and the Nordic Museum, all in Stockholm, Kalmar Art Museum, Örebro County Museum, Småland Museum, Helsingborg Museum, Västergötland Museum and Norrköping Art Museum, and the Tessin Institute in Paris, as well as in international collections such as the Gewerbemuseum in Winterthur, Switzerland.

Orup’s bold explorations across painting, sculpture, and glass established him as a pioneer of Swedish modernism and a key figure in 20th-century Scandinavian art.

Soft and smooth cover
Color: Grey, Size: Body(20"X 54")
This is a nice pillow cover overall. The fabric feels good and it's comfortable to sleep on, especially compared to a more basic cotton cover. It is maybe a little thinner than I expected, so if you want something thick and heavy this probably isn't that. But for a soft smooth cover that fits and feels decent, I think it's worth it. No major complaints from me after using it.

These are the ones you want
Color: Grey, Size: Body(20"X 54")
May need to iron them out when wash/dried but my old ones still look new- soft, cooling, smooth, color is still great. Not itchy or cheap feeling. Buying a new set for family.

Very nice pillowcases
Color: Haze Blue, Size: 2 Pack Standard(20"X 26")
Very pretty pillowcases. I washed them in cold water and dried them on low before using. They came out a little wrinkly but smoothed out on the pillow. The fabric is shiny and rich looking. It's not hot yet, here in Texas, but I am anticipating the coolness of these pillowcases to feel very nice. I appreciate the envelope closure. It gives it a finished look. There was no odd odor. They feel good like they'll last for a long time. I am a satisfied customer.

Body pillow covers
Color: White, Size: Body(20"X 54")
I ordered the body pillow covers. They fit my pillow perfectly and the fabric is smooth and silky, but I did not find them cooling.

Cooling King-Size Pillows (used on a Queen pillows to tuck the extra in)
Color: Navy Blue, Size: 2 Pack King(20"X 36"), Color: Navy Blue, Size: 2 Pack King(20"X 36")
🛏️ Product Review: Cooling King-Size Pillows (used on a Queen bed) ⭐ The Good • These are king-size pillows, which I actually love on a queen bed because I can tuck the ends into the fabric. • The fabric feels slick and cool, but you don’t slip off of it. • They feel cold to the touch right out of the package (which is wild). • I sleep extremely hot and even run fevers at night due to a medical condition (literally 101–102° sometimes), and these pillows still stay cool where I lay my head. • I’ve honestly never slept this well in my life. • For the price, you cannot beat them, and they go on sale often. • These beat any high-end version I’ve tried. • If you sleep normal-temp and not lava-hot like me, you’re going to be VERY comfortable with these. ⚠️ The Bad • The fabric does show crease lines. • If wrinkles bother you, this might annoy you (doesn’t bother me personally). 🔧 What I’d Change / Tips for Care • Don’t use fabric softener — it clogs the cooling fabric and ruins how it works. • Wash with unscented detergent + a little vinegar. • Dry on low heat only (do NOT dry on high if you want the fabric to keep working long-term). ✅ Final Thoughts I will literally never not own these again. If you sleep hot, night-sweat, or just want a pillow that actually stays cool — these are it. 10/10 recommend.
