The Rock

The Rock stands firmly on its own but the lineage is clear. Hanna Hansdotter has created a contemporary tribute to Kosta Boda’s impressive archive of rugged and playful designs that’s equally worthy and independent. While using a familiar design language, The Rock is an excellent example of the non-conformist, unique expression we associate with Hanna Hansdotter's design. A comforting déjà vu for some, a progressive gem for most of us.

The Rock is cast in colored glass at the Kosta glassworks in Sweden. The series is available in several distinct colorways, as well as a circular execution where waste glass from the Kosta hot shop is repurposed into new objects.

Quote

“The Rock is a concept that took form during my art school years,” says Hanna Hansdotter. Partially a nod to the 1970s and the cast, solid glass typical of many iconic Kosta Boda products, I wanted to add a modern touch to this familiar type of object. A reliable rock to lean on, if you will.”
