Creation/Production
Kosta Boda
Established in Småland, Sweden in 1742. Today’s Kosta Boda was formed through a merger of the glassworks in the communities of Kosta, Boda and Åfors.
The group was initially called AB Åforsgruppen and included Johansfors Glassworks at that time. The company name was changed to Kosta Boda AB in 1976, and the company has been part of Orrefors Kosta Boda AB since 1989. Manufacturing now takes place at the principal glassworks in Kosta and at Åfors Glassworks.
Wärff, Göran
Has worked as a maker and designer for Kosta Boda since 1964.
