Kosta Boda Floating Flowers Collection
Description:
Kosta BodaGlasswareMade in SwedenDesigned by Olle BrozenThe designer, a gardener, celebrates the love of nature and three favorite flowers - the dog-rose, hepatica and larkspur. In the ethereal grace of the plant motifs and the colors, Floating Flowers evokes Art Nouveau, as well as classic Japanese design, and rewards you with blooms that will never fade. "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.
