Kosta Boda Catwalk, Man in Trenchcoat
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.
'Man in Trenchcoat' has a strong vertical line with his upright shoulders and long arms. Like 'Madame' there is also a sense of movement achieved by his coat which extends out behind him. His black hat is partly glossy and like the other pieces, the colours bleed in to one another at the base of his neck and at the base.
These pieces are particularly fine for art glassware, and they have a milky colouration. The surface is silky yet grainy, and glitters like sand has been applied in the final stages.
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
