Amber Collection
The Amber Collection is Designed by Göran Wärff
 Göran Wärff Born ( b.1933 )
Affiliated with Kosta Boda since 1964, he has a studio at Kosta glassworks. ”Glass is oxygen – light is energy – glass is light”. So runs the mantra of Göran Wärff, grand old man of Kosta Boda’s designers. Few, if any, have such a deep feeling for the glass melt as Wärff, who has always shown special interest in preserving the traditional skills of the master craftsmen in glassblowing and glass cutting. 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. Nature and the play of light in nature are his other main sources of inspiration, beyond the glass itself. In addition to his utility glass and art glass he has also created several large-scale installations. His work is exhibited in museums and collections around the world.
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.
