Polar

Nature, light, and ice can be really fascinating. It was out of the love for these elements that Polar was born. The collection consists of several glass sculptures resembling rippling water during a moment frozen in time. Doubling as candle holders, the depths of the clear glass become a carrier of light, which turns the sculpture into a work of art that feels alive. The Kosta Boda collection invites you to combine many pieces of different sizes to create your own world of Polar or keep a single piece as an exclusive design object, perfect for an art-loving home. Or as a unique gift, from Sweden to the Sydney Opera house, for example (true story).

Master of Optical Illusions

Göran Wärff

Göran Wärff (1933-2022) was a Swedish designer and artist. As a designer, he found it important how one handles the glass – how it feels and the significance of enjoying the sensation of drinking from a glass. His greatest inspiration was often found in the sea and its variety in color and shape – how it changes its appearance in different parts of the world. Göran has always claimed that glass is like liquid, and that's how he understands it as a material.
