Paul Hoff is a Swedish artist born in 1945, renowned for his work in glass and ceramics. Between 1972 and 1982, he served as a designer at Kosta Boda glassworks, where he gained acclaim for his expressive glass sculptures and functional art pieces. His designs often feature animal motifs, reflecting his interest in nature and wildlife.
Notable works include the "Pilgrim's Falcon" (1975), a steel-blue crystal sculpture produced in collaboration with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), and a series of glass animal figurines created for WWF during the 1980s. These pieces are highly regarded by collectors for their craftsmanship and artistic value.​
In addition to his glasswork, Hoff has also contributed to ceramic design. After returning to Gustavsberg in 1981, he produced a series of stoneware vases and containers shaped like fruits, which became popular in the late 1980s.​
