Kosta Boda
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.

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.
The Brick votive from Kosta Boda has a square shape inspired by something exquisitely simple: a brick. Its style, which is created through the division of color in the votive holder, gives each Brick a unique appearance. Design by Anna Ehrner.
Superbe, the light is subtle reflection to the glass that is thick and warm on its own … Really happy about them. Alain. Verdun, QC. 2024-02-02 09:23:12
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 environment-friendly paints in a powerfully expressive pattern. Rich in detail, transparent, and rock ’n roll romantic. A collection to use and enjoy.

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 bit about the history of each globe and Vallien's ideas behind the series. Each globe is hand-made with great care, and makes a perfect, very personal gift.
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.
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.
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.
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. The extraordinary art object is handmade at Kosta Glassworks in Sweden and is part of the Kosta Boda artist collection.
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.

With Earth Sculpture, Bertil Vallien has created a miniature world in glass, inspired by our place on the planet. This object from the Kosta Boda artist collection is pressed in a mold at Kosta Glassworks and adorned with a small sandblasted house.
