Designed for Swedish glassworks Kosta Boda by Sweden's most internationally celebrated glass artist Bertil Vallien, BV Beans Golden Brown Satin belongs to a whole new series of beautiful handmade sculptures. The generously proportioned piece of art glass is striking not only for its impressive size, but because of the artistry which has been involved in the design and production of the compelling shape and colour. Each sculpture is absolutely unique and the variations in the irregular pattern and shape from one piece to another are part of their appeal. Hand made in Sweden.

"I love to work with a theme. Glass offers possibilities that no other material can. It’s like the outpouring from a volcano where the glowing mass is rapidly transformed into ice. The challenge is to capture the look and the light at just the right moment to allow the glass to reveal its secrets.”
