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.

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

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.

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.

“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.

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.

With a background as a professional rock guitarist, musical influences play a large part in Kjell Engman's work. The Swedish glass artist has created Fidji, an object of multiple colors merged into one whose shape bears a resemblance to the musical instrument organ pipe.

Glass artist Ludvig Löfgren has long been impressed by the artistry of tattoos, and in the Tattoo collection, he has developed a completely new painting technique using environmentally friendly paints in a powerfully expressive pattern.

In the Earth series, Bertil Vallien has created four different globes, each with its own characteristic houses and message.

Bring a touch of Swedish modernism to your home with this unique, abstract crystal table vase. This watertight vase is perfect for showcasing your favorite flowers or as a striking standalone piece.

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.

For the first time ever, Asa Jungnelius's contemporary classic Snippan is being presented as a smaller sculpture that can also be used as a bowl.

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

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

The Polar votive candle holder from Kosta Boda’s open archive is originally from a 1974 collection of several glass sculptures in a variety of colors and sizes, calling to mind rippling water that is frozen in time. With Polar, you can combine several sculptures in different sizes to create a playful group.

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. I own another one in form of a snowball. I will include a picture of that as well.. Thomas. Orange Park, FL. Thu Jan 12 2023

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.

Lab by Kosta Boda is a joint creation by brothers and fellow designers Matti and Simon Klenell. It’s a collection of vases and interior objects with a clear design DNA, inspired by the aesthetics and archetypes of traditional laboratory glass. The contemporary collection is mouth-blown in Kosta and all pieces are versatile, suitable for serving beverages at the table, holding cut flowers, or simply as stunning decorative objects.

Beans Bowl in the frosted clear glass 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. This object from the Kosta Boda artist collection is sandblasted for a matte, frosted finish.

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.

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.

The Rocky Baroque collection from Kosta Boda is an equally rebellious and playful remix of the classic column.

The Contrast collection from Kosta Boda is manufactured using a technique called centrifugation. The technique, 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 blue/blue bowl is just beautiful on its own – or why not filled with fruit?

Rocky Baroque is a rebellious take with ancient roots. Monumental contours meet raw, jagged surfaces in this collection of vibrant candle holders. The item from Kosta Boda resides in the borderlands between sculpture and utility object, a recurring theme in artist Hanna Hansdotter's design. Humor and irony are other tools used to interpret and challenge authoritarian principles. The result is its own genre – Rocky Baroque. Rocky Baroque kryptonite is handmade in Kosta, Sweden.

How does a particular design come about? The inspiration for the Fidji collection originated in the designer’s love of music, the long necks of the bottles reminiscent of organ pipes. The colors were inspired by shimmering rainbows of oil spilled on water.

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.

Each piece in the collection can stand alone as a solo player, and they all work well together as a group.

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
