With Mirage, the artist and designer Göran Wärff found inspiration from nature and light, especially in the reflection of light and optical illusions. The object is a sculpture, a vase, and an art piece, available in a wide range of colors. To create a spectacular object like Mirage, an angled pipe is used to form its distinctive curved shape. Mirage is handmade in Kosta, Sweden, and is part of the Kosta Boda Artist Collection.
Wärff has made public art for the Sydney Opera House, a mosque in Abu-Dhabi and the Växjö Cathedral. He has received numerous awards, such as the Lunning Prize, which he received together with Ann Wärff for jointly designed utility glass, and an Excellent Swedish Design award for his collection Limelight.
