Designed by Kjell EngmanTwo votives form the sculptural halves of a single heart. Rivulets of color cascade from each candle, as bubbles and undulations in the crystal bend and flash with candle glow and ambient light, like beating hearts. An ideal gift for loved ones and lovers.
"In creating a design I start with the circle of life. I like to make glass you can feel, glass that appeals to all of our senses, and tries to make use of refraction and light. I want to paint pictures and tell stories at the same time. What drives me, I suppose, is a sort of inner search in which curiosity, the mysterious and the mythological are all-important ingredients. Glass, the living solid, is my constant companion."
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.
