PRESS RELEASE

LENA BERGSTRÖM Lena Bergström is one of Sweden’s most

award-winning and productive designers.

Art glass, utility glass, lighting, textiles, jewelry and public artworks. Nothing

seems impossible for Lena. In her art glass Lena’s fascination with

cut crystal is clearly visible. Together with

the skilled glassblowers and master-

cutters at Kosta Boda she is constantly

challenging the limits of the glass.

”The unique properties of the glass and

the craftsmanship of the glassworkers

always inspires me to great deeds but at

the same time I want the end result to

look natural and beautiful.”

NEW ART GLASS PLANETS IN KOSTA BODA’S UNIVERSE AT AMBIENTE MESSE FRANKFURT 2016: NEW LIMITED AND UNIQUE ART GLASS PIECES DESIGNED BY LENA BERGSTRÖM WILL BE PRESENTED AT AMBIENTEThe first Planets in Lena Bergströms universe were created in 2001. Over the years new Planets has been added in various colours and shapes depending on the season and theme.

The Planets are the result of a long-time collaboration between Lena and the skilled glassblowers and master-cutters at Kosta Boda in Sweden.

I want each Planet to be unique and beautiful. Like us humans. We all come from one egg with different content and then we are cut into different characters. We become our own small planets. - Lena Bergström, glass artist
