Kosta Boda is committed to "...develop the expressive power of glass, both artistically and technically," while ensuring that, "Swedish glass will always be elegant, exciting, and of superb quality in both craft and design." At our glassworks in Kosta, our skilled glassworkers are joined by several of Sweden’s most prestigious designers in developing the design, craftsmanship and new techniques. Each piece is a individual work of art and will differ slightly.
Bertil Vallien began spending time with these sand-casted heads in the mid-90s. One half is awake and one asleep, if you like.
In mythology, Janus was the god responsible for dawn and dusk. For Bertil, who has always tried to capture light in his glass, this dual nature has become a character that he revisits time and again, searching for a conversation. The powerful contrast between raw and cut glass gives the sculpture its special magic.
Janus is handmade in Kosta, Sweden, and is available in a limited edition of 100 pieces.
