The “Opus” vase by Göran Wärff for Kosta Boda from the 1970s is a prime example of Scandinavian glass art. With its clear teardrop shape and soft lines, it reflects the calm, organic design language for which Wärff is known.

The thick-walled glass, with its subtle transparency, allows light to gently filter through, giving the object an almost sculptural quality. Whether displayed on its own on a sideboard or filled with individual flowers, the vase unfolds its timeless elegance.

An iconic piece of Nordic design that delights collectors and Kosta Boda enthusiasts alike.

My tip: Place the “Opus” vase by a window – the changing daylight makes it a living work of art.
