The vases in Göran Wärff's Mirage collection—the colors harmonize subtly with the soft form of the vase and suggest an unexpected meeting between glass and color. The play of light within the glass adds an extra dimension to the mirage set in our imagination.

Gorgeous piece that reflects light beautifully!. Kathleen. South Boston, MA. Sun Apr 10 2022

In the Earth series, Bertil Vallien has created four different globes, each with its own characteristic houses and message. Their names—My Garden, Home, Winter Garden and Lonely House—tell a glimpse into the history of each globe and Vallien's ideas behind the series. Each globe is handmade with great care, and makes a perfect, very personal gift.

Absolutely love it! Catches the sun, looks elegant, great decor item. Anonymous. Thu Feb 19 2026

A friendly, watchful eye whose unique movements bring life to the glass. Once again, Goran Warff has created a Kosta Boda classic.

Mirage is on an oblique pipe for the curved shapes, with a so-called zoom technique that dons the separated colors. Here, the work of the master blowers in the foundry is complemented by equally masterful finishing work in the grinding shop. The sculptural expression is based on a sophisticated optical interplay between color, shape and light, Göran Wärff's hallmark.

Azur Moon Petrol, by Bertil Vallien, is part of the Kosta Boda artist collection. This object in petroleum blue is cast in a graphite mold at Kosta Glassworks. The mold creates an impression of a face bathed in moonlight.

Göran Wärff’s Mirage is a classic perfectly representing the glass master’s artistic oeuvre. The notions of ocean and nature are very present in these powerful art glass objects – freehand blown and shaped as a thin dish – appreciated for the optical effects enhanced by the light or movement in any room. Mirage is handmade in Kosta, Sweden, and is part of the Kosta Boda artist collection.

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.

“Back to basics. I wanted to create a classic, decorative and functional series that celebrates craftsmanship and the innate beauty of the glass.” Red Rim is hand-made in several steps. First, the first parison of lead-free crystal is rolled in powdered color. The color is then heated before the parison is blown into a shape that gives the molten glass its optical pattern. Clear glass is gathered over the parison to enclose the optical pattern in the glass, and then the glass is blown into its final form and shaped into a bowl or a vase. Finally, the piece is attached to a glass-blowing pipe and blown up a touch more before the red rim is applied from a color rod.

Snippan pink for the Kosta Boda artist collection is cast in a graphite mold and colored in the hot shop here in Kosta.

Azur is a beautiful collection of eye-catching sculptures of glass created by Sweden's most famous glass artist and designer Bertil Vallien.

Much better and bigger than I thought.. Christopher. Johns Creek, GA. Sun Oct 03 2021

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.

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.

Great packaging to ensure the piece wasn't damaged. Excellent bowl with a vibrant color. As shown in the Wayfair image. Very good purchase.. Michael. Jackson, NJ. Tue Feb 07 2023

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.

Crackle and thunder – a magical wonder! At Kosta Boda, we marvel at beautifully preserved cracks in glass. The vase in circular glass from the Crackle collection has an expressive, sculptural exterior created using an old handicraft technique where the hot glass is dipped in ice-cold water. The circular glass that Crackle Circular is made of, makes the products shift in color, and the small bubbles created during the process of making circular glass into a new product, make each vase unique. Design by Asa Jungnelius.

The Contrast collection from Kosta Boda is manufactured using a technique called centrifugation. The method, invented in Sweden's Kingdom of Crystal in the 1950s, creates veils of color inside the glass mass. In combination with the color powder and sticks added during the process, each piece becomes unique. The large blue/blue dish is perfect as serveware, or for fruits and other visual displays—design by Anna Ehrner.

Polar from Kosta Boda, originally launched in 1974 and celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2024 is a collection of glass sculptures in different colors and sizes reminiscent of rippling water frozen in time. The amber votive lights up the room, whether grouped or used on its own.

A friendly watching eye, brought to life by the unique movement of the glass. The shapes of the Vision collection liken the human eye, while the soft, transparent color creates the sense of an imaginary eye. The crystalline quality is exclusive and highly individual; largely thanks to the living material and craftsman’s skill. Soft, undulating shapes make Göran Wärff’s Vision an elegant classic for Kosta Boda.

Gorgeous item, sent quickly and wrapped with high quality materials.. Gayle. New York, NY. Sat Aug 16 2025

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

The Rocky Baroque collection from Kosta Boda is an equally rebellious and playful remix of the classic column. Monumental lines collide with pop colors and raw, angular surfaces in this unique collection. Not least in this vase, looking to turn any twig or bouquet into art, or simply brighten your room on its own.

Very happy with this votive holder. I love Kosta Boda company and the quality they deliver. I am in love with the design and super happy that I found another piece from one of their designers.

Iris is a collection of miniature vases that beautifully embody the full-color spectrum of the rainbow. This captivating collection draws inspiration from the remarkable creations featured in Erika Lagerbielke's exclusive exhibition, 'Blue Planet,' showcased at Galleri Glas in Stockholm and the prestigious Kosta Boda Art Gallery in Sweden in 2022. The name "Iris" pays homage to the Greek mythological goddess of the rainbow, perfectly reflecting the radiant allure of these vases. Handblown in Kosta, Sweden, the drop-shaped vases use a multi-colored underlay and optical pattern. A technique that secures variation in the thickness of the glass during the hot shop process. The result adds life and playful vividness to the glass. The vases are reminiscent of small jewelry pieces in carefully selected color pairings. Iris is part of the Kosta Boda Artist collection.

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.

Happiness was inspired by one of Kjell Engman’s trips to the US, where he was captivated by a women’s gospel choir performance at a church, filled with singing and dancing. He has eternalized the memory in various ways with these glass women. The object from the Kosta Boda artist collection is pressed in a mold at Kosta Glassworks and then shaped into its unique design and hand-painted.

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.

Göran Wärff created the Polar series with inspiration from landscapes and ice. Polar is a bold, artistic object from the archives of Kosta Boda. It was originally launched in 1974 after its creation as a gift for the Sydney Opera House. Polar is a series of glass sculptures that can also function as candle holders. The production technique allows the glass to flow down, resulting in a unique object each time. When the piece is moved around the room, another dimension is added through optical illusion. Combine the different sizes to create a playful grouping, or display the biggest one as a carefully selected design object in an art-loving home.

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.
