Göran Wärff (1933 – 2022).  Glass artist with Kosta Boda since 1964.
Few, if any, have such a deep feeling for the glass melt as Göran. The play of light within the clear volume of the glass and the endless optical phenomena that occur as the glass diffracts the light are a recurring theme in Wärff’s art and design work. Warff’s pieces are constantly in demand for exhibitions throughout the world where they continue to attract much critical acclaim.

Glass is liquid light; glass is movement; glass is earth, fire and ice. In my glass I strive to bring about an encounter between nature and mankind.

“I like it when a piece has content, when it can be alluring from one angle, and you see something else when you turn it, with color reflected inside the glass. I’ve always cared a great deal about craftsmanship, and I’ve wanted to help keep it alive. There are so many possibilities in the studio and when the piece is cold and ready, there is new life to explore in the cutting process.”
