Kosta Boda Glass Face – Artist

Kosta Boda Glass is a proud Swedish glass company with a long and illustrious history spanning over three centuries.

Kosta Glasbruk was formed in 1742 in Sweden, where wood was plentiful and the Swedish aristocracy had been drawing glass artisans from Germany and Italy since the 1500s to satisfy the needs of the burgeoning upper class.

The company hit the ground running and headhunted the very best glass artists from Thuringia in Germany, which had a long and illustrious record of fine glass making.

By the 19th century, Kosta Boda glass was still headhunting the very best talent from across Europe. This time it was Art Nouveau glass artists who helped them move from glassware into the world of glass art.

In the mid-twentieth century, Vicke Lindstrand joined the firm and catapulted it to worldwide fame with bold new directions, female glass designers and an appetite for experimentation.

Today, the company are still full of vitality, with a focus on lifestyle, interior design and art glass products for modern living.

Kosta Boda glass pieces are both beautiful and bold, moving the glass art form forward through glassware and home decor. The artists have a deep love and understanding for the glass medium and continue to push at the cutting edge of design.

Their work is accessible, while still retaining that Scandinavian magic. That spirit of producing fine quality craftsmanship for those with discerning tastes. Artists can explore the far reaches of their ingenuity as they know they are working for a company that prides itself on rewarding artistic flair.
