Sculptural Narratives in Glass

Kosta Boda, founded in 1742 in the heart of Sweden, is a beacon of Scandinavian glassmaking, where craftsmanship meets experimentation. The objects in RARE’s collection highlight a period when the studio embraced sculptural forms, transforming glass into both functional objects and artistic statements.

Sculptural Essence

RARE. preserves works that capture Kosta Boda’s signature approach to form and material: glass as a medium of both utility and poetic expression. From luminous, ice-like surfaces to flowing, sculptural silhouettes, these objects reveal a delicate balance between weight, transparency, and tactile presence. They exemplify the brand’s mid-to-late 20th-century experimentation and its enduring capacity to transform everyday items into pieces of collectible art.

Material Poetry

The collection demonstrates the brand’s mastery of materiality: glass is not merely shaped, it is choreographed. Light fractures, textures interplay, and surfaces carry the memory of the hand that shaped them. Each object in RARE.’s curation embodies this union of utility and artistry, offering collectors an intimate encounter with Scandinavian design history.

Curated Collectibility

RARE. preserves these works as icons of Swedish glass, where vintage objects become conduits of memory, form, and material imagination. Each piece is a fragment of a broader narrative — a story of experimentation, elegance, and the enduring beauty of glass as both medium and message.
