Glass artist, sculptor and industrial designer Floris Meydam (1919-2011) was one of the best-known designers of the second generation of leading Dutch glass artists after Copier. Meydam began his career as a glass artist and designer as an assistant in the advertising department of the Glass Factory in Leerdam in 1935. In 1949 Meydam became head of the design department in Leerdam, where he designed both utilitarian objects and decorative pieces and Unicas. Meydam collaborated extensively with the master glassblowers of the Leerdam Glass Factory, which resulted in designs that demonstrate Meydam's knowledge of technique and material.
