In the early part of the 20th century, Kosta Boda quite literally reinvented the art and craft of Swedish glass. Moreover, Kosta Boda played a key role in the emergence of a distinctive Scandinavian idiom and quality standards whose goal is design excellence in everything from toys to tableware. The collaboration between the glassmaker and designer was the key to this aesthetic and commercial success, and that is still true today. In order to create works of originality and timelessness, artist and artisan at Kosta Boda collaborate closely while experimenting with recipes, forms, colors, and textures as well as ancient and new processes.
