Designed by Ludvig LofgrenRectangular vases with a warm red base and a skillfully crackled pattern of pale green-beige. Ludvig Lofgren puts historical glass-making techniques to the challenge, creating masculine, modern works.
"The glass enables me to be sculptural and painterly at the same time. It is my job to fill the glass with character. Glass as a material is a simple matter. It just has to be shaped first. Glass can be seductive, beautiful, soft and complying and at the same time hot, sharp and provocative. My relationship to glass is sensitive, passionate and enduring."
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.
