Annual Brains 2024
When Bertil Vallien celebrated 60 years as a glass artist at Kosta Boda, he created a series of new "Brains" as a kind of gift to those who have followed his business over the years. The first came in 2023, and this variant is the 2024 edition.
The anniversary variants of Brains are slightly larger and heavier than other "Brains" and rest comfortably on a soft hand-stitched leather cushion.
"Brains" was developed and created by Bertil Vallien in the 1980s and since then they have come in a number of different variants. Common to all is the shape of the head and they often have a mythological expression. The heads have great symbolic value and are great as decoration, as paperweights or just to hold in your hand and enjoy.
Kosta Boda is one of the world's leading brands in glassblowing and glass art. Their ovens and glass huts in Småland have been in use since 1742 and today several well-known designers work in their studios around Kosta and in close collaboration with the craftsmen. In close dialogue, they explore and challenge traditional techniques and develop new techniques in the cabins when designs and ideas are to be realised.
