- With
characteristic craftsmanship and
good design, and an ongoing
commitment to avant-garde
expression, Kosta Boda has become
one of the leading glasshouses in
the world. The
company's three glassworks in the
villages of Kosta, Boda and
Åfors each have exciting
individual stories of their own, yet
stand together under the common
brand name Kosta Boda. Ten
designers are currently on retainer
at Kosta Boda. They work with both
utilitarian and art glass. The
designers are Monica Backström,
Olle Brozén, Anna Ehrner,
Kjell Engman, Anne Nilsson, Ulrica
Hydman-Vallien, Gunnel Sahlin,
Bertil Vallien, Ann
Wåhlström and Göran
Wärff. Glass
results from a great many meetings
between people - artists,
craftspeople and lovers of glass.
The artists of Kosta Boda have a
decisive role to play in all the
creative stages of the process. The
cooperation between the designers
and the skilled craftspeople is very
close; indeed, it is essential if
the designers are to transfer their
intentions to the glass.
