Kosta Boda Limelight Collection
Description:
Kosta BodaMade in SwedenGlasswareHandwashing RecommendedDesigned by Goran WarffA highly contemporary tableware collection that includes wine and martini glasses with thick bases instead of stems, Limelight from Kosta Boda sparkles with its intriguing textured dots and ribbed rings. Renowned Swedish artist Göran Wärff draws his inspiration for the collection, which also includes angular bowls, rimmed plates, and serving pieces, from the play of light in nature. Brilliant and shimmery, Limelight is handcrafted in Sweden from lead-free glass which best retains its clarity when washed by hand.  "The melt, glowing in the furnace, is what beckons me to new discoveries. With every gather, I feel an almost irresistible urge to give new expression to the magic of glass, to create a work that will be the bearer of light, the sea and the air. Each piece that I design I try to make a receptacle for light, for warmth and sensuality."
When we say a piece of Kosta Boda is handmade, we mean it literally. Glassmaking at Kosta Boda is both wonderfully old-fashioned and perpetually a new world-each design a collaborative work of art between our designer artists and our glassmaker artists. The first hires at the new glassworks of Kosta in 1742 were skilled glassblowers, for it was their talents and experience that made all the difference in the end products. This is just as true today, where artisans and designers work side by side in the glassworks, cutting room, painting shop and engraving studio.
