Martti Rytkönen

Martti Rytkönen’s glass collections always reflect the true spirit of Orrefors – even when he experiments with shape and glassmaking techniques. He is fascinated by the possibilities of glass and likes to form the clear crystal into objects with a narrative for Kosta Boda as well! He aims to tell us something about the material, how it can be soft, strong and light but at the same time, heavy and hard. Martti thinks that glass is sensual and pleasing. We understand what he means when we see his crystal creations that can have the simplest shapes imaginable, without being hard or formal. Martti’s products are always permeated by timelessness and tangible high quality. This applies to all his creations, be they clear, cut crystal items in his collection, or coloured limited-edition vases.

Kappa Circular from Kosta Boda

Design by Mimmi Blomqvist

Kappa

Kappa Circular from Kosta Boda is made of 100 percent circular glass from Kosta Glassworks in Sweden.

Sustainable design

Kappa Circular, by the Swedish designer Mimmi Blomqvist, is produced with excess glass from Kosta Glassworks in Sweden. During the process of transforming circular glass into something new, bubbles emerge, and color variations are created. So, the finished vases differ in shades from blue to gray, and they all have small bubbles inside, making each vase unique.

“I’ve always been a creative person, but the idea of designing furniture and objects has gained momentum over time. After my first visit to the studio in Kosta, I felt energized and inspired.”
