Kosta Boda
by Bertil Vallien
Throughout history, people have surrounded themselves with objects said to possess more power than “ordinary” items. A stone, a piece of bone, a beautiful icon. Objects that are not only a feast for the eyes but also forge a kind of bond of friendship. For Kosta Boda, Bertil has created something similar; he calls the collection “Companion.” Friends, colleagues. Faces in shifting colors and with five different messages. Yes. Hope. Love. Peace. Blues. These little messengers can be hung on the wall where they’re needed most—as reminders that our time also has faces other than those of evil and war.
