Details

Hand-blown art glass vase from the Joy series designed by Gunnel Sahlin for Kosta Boda, Sweden, 1991. A work from Sahlin’s two-decade tenure at the glassworks.

Sahlin brought a textile designer’s sensibility to glass, emphasising bold colour, graphic expression and sculptural presence. This example reflects her approach with soft, sensual form and assured use of colour and pattern.

Kosta Boda, founded in 1742, is known for engaging painters, sculptors and artists on limited terms to maintain an experimental studio culture. Sahlin worked with the company from 1986 to 2005, and her glass is represented in Nationalmuseum Sweden, Röhsska Museum and the Tel Aviv Museum of Art.
