Designed by Bertil VallienBertil Vallien's new Holy Night sculpture infuses the room with an atmospheric glow from the lighted base. A stunning sculpture depicting the three wisemen following the star through the night. This piece comes with its lighted base.
"Glass offers opportunities like no other material. It has everything: heat, cold, interior depth, the inner power of suggestion. For me the blowing room is the center of it all. It's like ladling lava out of a volcano and watching the glowing matter turn to ice. Knowing the exact moment at which to capture a shift of light or expression and wrest the secret from the glass is what it's all about."
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.
