Viva by Matti Klenell is a series that honours daily beauty and celebration. The glass is designed to suit different occasions. The narrow stemware resembles an ISO wine testing cup that makes it optimal for both red and white wines but the slim design makes it great for festive sparkling champagne or cava as well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Inviting, progressive and contemporary design.

From the origin, a small seed germinates and expands from the seed into a bean. In the same way, it is something unique to witness when the liquid glass mass expands when blown by the glassworker spirit. The shape is affected by the centrifugal force but is handled with the help of wet newspaper. The series is completely made freehand and no piece is exactly like the other. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“The inspiration for the obvious simplicity of the objects is taken from Ingeborg Lundin's Apple. Beans are my homage to Ingeborg. ”- Bertil Vallien⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

A moment of silence after Christmas and growing anticipation for the New Year. We love the 'mellandagarna' (days-in-between). A small gap in time to ponder over the year that's been and the year that's about to start. And what a year it was. One thing is certain: 2020 was filled with the unexpected. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Time for reflection, acknowledgement, laughter, saying our goodbyes and looking ahead.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Matti Klenell is a designer with love for history

Matti Klenell is a designer with love for history and in-depth research before he starts any design.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He started the creation of Viva with an investigation of contemporary behaviors connected to drinking and to combine that with roots in Swedish glass making traditions of Kosta Boda that has made table ware glass since 1742. This also meant a rediscovery of a region where Matti Klenell lived for a short but important period during his childhood when his parents studied at the National School of Glass in Orrefors. He was 4 years old in 1976 but the smells, colours and people in the Crystal Kingdom have stayed with him ever since.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Klenell tells "The aim with Viva was to make a versatile series of glasses for everyday celebrations where we wanted each unit to enable an informal way of serving. The informal drinking attitude in biodynamic wine circles was a great source of inspiration when developing the family but the aim was to create products that felt natural to use for all kinds of beverages"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Viva became an inviting set of table glassware with a large area of use where the boundaries between the different parts are dissolved and traditional functions are combined in a new way. Individually, the glasses enhance the meetings and meals of everyday life in different ways. Together, the various parts of the collection form a beautiful, unique whole that sets the character for the modern set table.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Winter Solstice. Today is the shortest day of the year. Not a minor anchor point in the Northern hemisphere, where life and light are deeply intertwined as the seasons find their most intense expressions. Today might be the darkest day, but it is also the turning point.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let's give an ode to the light with this timeless classic created by Göran Wärff, the master of optical illusions. He knows the art of giving life to the glass, by capturing the light and letting it be reflected a thousand times in the crystal. The solid glass bottom with an ingenious decor reflects the light in the crystal and makes the tumblers shine.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Kappa is designed by Mimmi Blomqvist. The glass is mouth-blown in a mold and named after the “bubble” that rises out over the edge of the object during the production process. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Kappa is produced with circular glass from the Kosta Glassworks in Sweden. Variations in colour, as well as small bubbles emerging during the process of transforming recycled glass into a new object, make each vase individual and one of a kind. The varying pigments in the shards bring forth enticing shades of blues and greys.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A piece that reflects our time, coupling sustainable rigor with contemporary design.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Crackle is a mouth-blown series with an organic and distinctive expression. In manufacturing, a new technology is used where the hot glass is cooled in ice-cold water. In the meeting between hot and cold, a crackled surface is created which also gave the series its name, Crackle. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Åsa Jungnelius is an artist (MFA) and senior lecturer at Konstfack, based in Stockholm and Månsamåla in Småland. She has been associated with Kosta Boda since 2007, launching bold, eye catching and aesthetic series. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Design and Craftmanship come beautifully together in Crackle. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Mårten Medbo reveils the exploratory quality of an artist, which is interesting when working with glass. He shows patience and feeling, both for the material and for the interaction between glassblower and grinder. A good artist knows how to communicate with both his expression and with people. Then the glass becomes something special, unique and expressive.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
