After his art studies at ”Konstfack” in Stockholm, he has worked for the Kosta Boda glassworks for more than 40 years.

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.
