Designed by Kjell EngmanThe dreamy, fluid patterns of these handmade, heirloom-quality bowls are created by mixing five different colors on a white foundation and letting them melt and dance. No two alike.
"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.
