KOSTA BODA THE KINGDOM OF CRYSTAL, SWEDEN
Kosta Boda is one of the world’s leading brands of glassware and art glass.
Technology and an understanding of glass have been refined here in the heart
of the forests in the Swedish province of Småland ever since 1742. Our glassware
is vibrant, bold, innovative and provocative. It stands out and takes centre stage.
Kosta Boda is true passion.
Our designers are some of the most renowned – not just in Sweden, but worldwide.
Their common denominator is a passion for exploring the possibilities of glass, always
stretching the limits of what is feasible. The techniques used are both classical and brand
new, often developed by the craftspeople in the glassworks as they work on transforming
the designers’ ideas into products.
The close dialogue between the designers and skilled craftspeople takes place on a daily
basis and will continue to form the foundation for creating unique glassware to delight
people today and future generations
