The Companion sculptures are made from circular glass in our glassworks in Kosta, Sweden. As the source glass varies in shade, so do the tones of the finished objects. As a result, Companion gets a unique color DNA with every casting. Featuring a convenient hook on the sculpture's back, these small sculptures can easily adorn your wall wherever you desire their presence the most. Furthermore, each sculpture comes in a beautiful gift box, adding an extra touch of elegance.

In the hands of Bertil Vallien, the message through glass is both visible and hidden. With a love for nature – with his daily walks in the woods and along the water – he has learned a great deal about how the earth tells stories. When he casts stairs in a block of glass, as in Hidden Stairs (and makes them impossible to tread), he creates something that is both real and not real. How did the stairs end up there? As if the glass had come up with the word “stairs”? Glass artistry and wizardry occasionally go hand in hand. Fortress Hidden Stairs is part of Bertil Vallien’s anniversary collection, “Bertil Vallien: 60 Years with Kosta Boda” (1963–2023), and is handmade at Kosta Glassworks in Sweden with details in real 21-karat gold.

As Ellen Ehk Åkesson was asked to create an art object in honor of Ulrica Hydman Vallien's artistry, the magnificent Ticka was born. The object became part of Kosta Boda's 2021 tribute collection to the late Hydman Vallien. Ticka, available in a limited edition of 100 pieces, is a vessel from Ellen’s own imagination based on the same shape as Ulrica’s “snake bowl”. “I wanted to make something of my own, but with a connection to Ulrica’s art. For the tribute collection, I was inspired by the directness of her approach and style. The vessel symbolizes a tree trunk. It’s covered with modeled polypore mushrooms, called ‘Ticka’ in Swedish – hence the name.” – Ellen Ehk Åkesson. Ticka is handmade in Kosta, Sweden.

Shake it up with Make Up! The lipstick from Kosta Boda’s collection, first launched in 2008, is a pressed glass sculpture painted by hand. In its early days, the collection became a political and feministic statement as a mini version of Åsa Jungnelius’ art installation “I like your hairstyle!”.

Small in scale but perfect little unique accent for contemporary pop of color. High quality gloss finish. Super fun!. Tammy. Cape Girardeau, MO. Wed Jul 17 2024

Bertil Vallien has created a collection of twelve Brains, with individual expressions, which is being launched in autumn 2021. The pieces are punty pressed in a mold at Kosta Glassworks. Many of the objects are then painted, some with leaves of gold or silver. All Brains come in a velvet bag and in a gift box. Bertil Vallien created Brains in the 80s as “an anti-stress object for the hand and the eye. To place at the desk, have it next to the bed, and to bring along when traveling.” In the past, each head used to have a name inspired by great thinkers or artists. Instead, this edition is launched as “seeds of thoughts” or messengers. “I sometimes think of the brain like a seed. When a thought is blossoming in the darkness behind the protective skull. It is almost like the brain is blooming. Thoughts can survive for thousands of years, just like seeds, and I want to believe the good always conquers the bad. These mini-sculptures with a message fit in your hand and have been named Brains. I have tried to enclose some ”seeds of thoughts” in the pieces, that have passed through my own brain… can you relate? Just give them a moment to mature” – Bertil Vallien

Brain Look is a decorative collector’s item that can easily be affixed to a wall using the stainless steel bracket that is included. This object in the clear glass is designed by Bertil Vallien and is part of the Kosta Boda artist collection. It is cast in a mold at Kosta Glassworks and colored inside with color rods made at the glassworks. The color is revealed through the clear glass, with a pattern of lines representing meandering thoughts. You have seen them before, but they are bigger this time and made to hang on your wall. Beautiful collectibles and something to start to dress your walls with and make your own brainstorming.

Architects and children tend to be fascinated by stairs. Bertil shares that love! For over four decades, he has created and explored glass sculptures in which stairs are the lifeblood, the bearing element of the glass. A cube, a little house, a staircase – from these three simple shapes (and a few colors), Bertil Vallien generates an anecdote that sets something in motion, not only a desire to dash up and down stairs…Fortress Stairs is part of Bertil Vallien’s anniversary collection, “Bertil Vallien: 60 Years with Kosta Boda” (1963–2023), and is handmade at Kosta Glassworks in Sweden with details in real 21-karat gold.

Beans Bowl in golden brown from the Kosta Boda artist collection is mouth-blown at Kosta Glassworks and based on the same shape as Bertil Vallien’s Beans. To create the bowl-like shape, after blowing a bubble, the glassblower sucks the glass in while it is hot.

The significance of ships and boats has always been present in Bertil Vallien’s life and work. Like an imaginary space, he has journeyed through the glass. He sails his boat, seeing men fishing and refugees fleeing for their lives. The similarity of the boat to a seed pod, which could contain any form of life, is intriguing. Bertil captures our curiosity, and if we give the sculpture some time, he makes us participants in the unknown journey that life presents. Fortress Vessel is part of Bertil Vallien’s anniversary collection, “Bertil Vallien: 60 Years with Kosta Boda” (1963–2023), and is handmade at Kosta Glassworks in Sweden with details in real 21-karat gold.

Åsa Jungnelius is an artist with a compelling feminist approach to everything she creates. Inspired by Ulrica Hydman Vallien, who often portrayed the female body in her art, Åsa created We Love Apples as an homage to the late artist. Sven X: et Erixon, with whom Åsa shares the same love for vivid colors, is the second influential artist she also paid tribute to through this collection. “I want the apples to appear insatiable - delicious and difficult to resist. Much like the biblical apple from the Garden of Eden which Eve took a bite from, despite that it was forbidden”. – Åsa Jungnelius. As part of the 275th anniversary of Kosta Boda, celebrated in 2017, We Love Apples is handmade in Kosta, Sweden, and represents the traditional craftsmanship and history of the brand.

From its origins as a tiny seed, it sprouts and grows into a bean. Similarly, there is something unique to behold as the spirit of the glassworker infuses the liquid glass. Centrifugal force influences the shape, but it is handled with wet newspaper. The collection is blown entirely free-hand, and no two pieces are identical.

Renowned artist Bertil Vallien has named this collection of sculptures Vitruvius, after the Roman architect. Vitruvius' stance on houses and humans, dating back nearly 2000 years, has always appealed to Bertil. Incorporating impulses from music was just as important as mathematics to the Roman architect and philosopher in his field of work. Inspired by Vitruvius' interest in city planning, Bertil has made the little glass buildings in this collection in the shape of board-game figures – to be moved around according to taste and preference. "This could very well be my first truly interactive piece," as the artist himself puts it when presenting this original creation. Vitruvius is handmade in Kosta, Sweden.

Bertil Vallien has given this some consideration when he made the transparent sculpture My Palace Home, with its enchanting ability to capture the play of light. Only the viewer who has spent considerable time observing their own glass knows whether this ancient myth aligns with reality. My Palace Home is part of Bertil Vallien’s anniversary collection, “Bertil Vallien: 60 years with Kosta Boda” (1963–2023), and is crafted at the Kosta Glassworks in Sweden.

Bertil Vallien began spending time with these sand-casted heads in the mid-90s. One half is awake and one asleep, if you like. In mythology, Janus was the god responsible for dawn and dusk. For Bertil, who has always tried to capture light in his glass, this dual nature has become a character that he revisits time and again, searching for a conversation. The powerful contrast between raw and cut glass gives the sculpture its special magic. Janus is handmade in Kosta, Sweden, and is available in a limited edition of 100 pieces.
