Olle Brozén
"I have always been fascinated by the decorative: by the symmetries of nature and life. By patterns. Intuition is central to my creativity. I like to call it the intellect of the hand. Glass encloses a mental space in a spectrum of colour and transparency, direct, immediate yet ineffable."
Strong stylised patterns, organic decorations and playful, almost naïve, subjects, are distinguishing characteristics of Olle Brozén’s designs. He gained inspiration from working as a glassblower in Japan, and the influence of Japanese woodcuts is clearly visible in his first sketches for Kosta Boda: a series of patterns inspired by nature. Brozén has attracted attention with his simple, powerful shapes that give free rein to his expressive patterns and decorations.

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.”
