About the Designer: Kjell Engman
Kjell Engman (born 1946) has been a prominent figure in Swedish glass art since the late 1970s. His work at Kosta Boda combines bold color, surprising shapes, and a sense of mobility and joy that sets him apart in the world of Scandinavian design.
Engman joined Kosta Boda in 1978 and has since created numerous iconic collections. As he says of his practice: "I'm passionate about the larger context… I think of my work as if they were movies without dialogue." This philosophy is evident in the Cool series, where form and material tell their own story without embellishment.
His pieces are included in museums worldwide, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm. Engman's work represents a bridge between traditional Swedish glass craftsmanship and contemporary artistic expression.
