Kosta Boda Underworld Collection
Description:
Kosta BodaGlasswareMade in SwedenDesigned by Olle BrozenGenerous cylindrical forms in dramatic black or white are enlivened by a pattern of broad white spirals, the colors encased in crystal. "I have always been fascinated by the decorative, by the symmetries of nature, by patterns. Intuition is central to the creative process. I like to call it, 'the intellect of the hand.' Glass encloses a mental space in a spectrum of color and transparency. Glass is direct, immediate, yet ineffable."
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.
