Mimmi Blomqvist’s background is in illustration

Mimmi Blomqvist’s background is in illustration and she recently graduated from the University of Arts, Crafts and Design, where she studied ceramics and glass. She worked with both materials during her studies, but was particularly intrigued by glass, which was a new material for her.

“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. It’s an awesome feeling to see my idea go from sketch to an actual design object in Kosta Boda’s collection.” – Mimmi Blomqvist

Mimmis first product for Kosta Boda will be launched spring 2021.

“The collaboration with Kosta Boda has meant a rediscovery of roots. As a child, I lived for a time in the Småland glass kingdom when my parents studied at the glass school in Orrefors. Memories, people, scents and colors have been etched from then on and have come to have a great significance for me becoming who I became.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not surprisingly when starting to develop the ”Viva” range almost three years ago it was like switching on an amplifier bringing back these impressions when stepping through the factory doors in Kosta. In my design I instinctively came to search for the very same thing. I started to seek roots in Swedish glass making traditions and its techniques. Through that I came to work with enhancing the sensation and highlight the importance of craft in industrially manufactured objects. The result is a progressive but at the same time quite romantic, maybe even sentimental, design for everyday celebrations, with echoes from Simon Gate and Edward Hald, all gently overlooked by the divine spirit of Monica Backström. ” – Matti Klenell⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The Crackle series celebrates cracks, beautifully preserved in glass. Like a moment paused in time, when the frozen ice has just cracked.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“I have revealed the expressive shape of the clay. The convergence of hot glass and cold water creates a crackled finish. I wanted to create a surface reminiscent of frozen, crusted ice. A crunchy, crackling feel. The technique is old, but I use it in my own personal way. The Crackle series is mouth blown in Kosta.” – Åsa Jungnelius

“Glass is a liquid. It’s as alive as rippling water. In Polar, I have frozen that movement in time, capturing the convergence of ice and light in an optical phenomenon. Polar is uncompromising, filled with life and movement.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Head man encased in his world, a kind of conscious presence in glass. Still, with focus on what is in this particular moment, in the present. A shape in clear glass with silver becomes a face that forms the core of the sculpture. The sculpture is mounted on an iron base.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
