Kosta Boda Catwalk, Blue Madame
The design and decor of the fashion-inspired Catwalk family are light, stylish and full of movement. Recent additions to the wardrobe include colourful vases modelled on linen vests and fantastical, brightly coloured ladies' shoes.
Poncho, Madame & Man in Trenchcoat are stylised figures of fashion.
Madame is a graceful sculpture. She has a speckled deep blue body and a red hat, dusted with purple. The colours bleed together at the top and base of the sculpture. Her face remains in 'shade' as she tilts her head.
A lovely graceful line is achieved by the outward line of her dress and the great train that extends out beyond her body, as if she is walking.
These pieces are particularly fine for art glassware, and they have a milky colouration. The surface texture is silky but grainy, like sand has been applied in the process..
Designed by Kjell Engman, 2004, Catwalk is a particularly fun collection.
"In creating a design, I start with the circle of life. I like to make glass you can feel, glass that appeals to all of our senses and tries to make use of refraction and light. I want to paint pictures and tell stories all at the same time. What drives me, I suppose, is a sort of inner search, in which curiosity, the mysterious and mythology are all important ingredients. Glass, the living solid, is my constant companion."
-Kjell Engman
