Bertil Vallien, master and doyen of Swedish glass art, presents a selection of works, with an emphasis on works from recent years.

It is almost unbelievable, but in partnership with Kosta Boda, Bertil Vallien has been exploring and developing glass art for over 60 years. During this long era, in continuous dialogue and collaboration with the glassworks’ master artisans, he has invented and refined his own artistic style in glass, taking it far beyond old traditions and techniques.

From the beginning, as he says himself, Bertil Vallien has been simultaneously fascinated by and grappling with the many incredible and seductive qualities of glass. He left the elegance of cut crystal behind early on. Through his revolutionary sand casts, he found his truth in a raw and poetic style.
