My Palace Collection | Kosta Boda

My Palace Collection:

The myth of ”wandering” air bubbles has always been present at the glassworks of Kosta, Sweden. Bertil Vallien has given this some consideration when he made the transparent sculpture My Palace Home, with its enchanting ability to capture the play of light. Only the viewer who has spent considerable time observing their own glass knows whether this ancient myth aligns with reality…

Gold has always had a prominent role in Kosta Boda glass art and utility glass, usually as a minor highlight or as a graphic detail. With My Palace Golden Head, Bertil Vallien has created a head fully covered in a noble shimmer of gold, like an antique sculpture of timeless beauty.

My Palace Globe is a collection of exquisite “globes” enclosed by a transparent house. These hand-made globes shift in color and style, similar to the ocean exposed to a change in light. As a result, this sculpture comes to life, reminiscent of other spectacular light phenomena in the universe.
