CRACKLE CIRCULAR BY ÅSA JUNGNELIUS WINS THE RED DOT AWARD
Kosta Boda ’ s Crackle Circular , a product series featuring three vases and one bowl produced using upcycled waste glass in Kosta ( Sweden ), has been awarded one of the world ’ s leading design awards : Red Dot Award in the category Product Design ’ Best of the Best ’. The Crackle series , designed by Åsa Jungnelius and mouthblown in Kosta , is a tribute to cracks , beautifully preserved in glass . The mold is dug out of clay by hand and the cracked surface is formed using an old craft technique where the hot glass is dipped in ice cold water . Crackle Circular is part of Kosta Boda ’ s circular glass initiative using excess waste glass from other production at Kosta Glassworks . The waste glass is first sorted by color tone before being reentered into the production of new items . As a result of the color sorting and the small bubbles that occur in recycled glass , each product ends up with a unique color ID and surface .
