Happiness Red by Kjell Engman
Happiness was inspired by one of Kjell Engman’s trips to the US, where he was captivated by a women’s gospel choir performance at a church, filled with singing and dancing. He has eternalized the memory in various ways with these glass women. The object from Kosta Boda Artist Collection is pressed in a mold at Kosta Glassworks, and then shaped into its unique design and hand-painted.
Kjell Engman (1946–) was one of Sweden’s leading glass artists in the 20th and 21st century. After his art studies at ”Konstfack” in Stockholm, he has worked for the Kosta Boda glassworks for more than 40 years. Kjell became a prominent designer of glass vases, bowls, and sculptures with kitschy and humorous expressions. His artistry is represented at the Swedish National Museum of Art and Design.
