Fortress
Design Bertil Vallien
In this series, Bertil Vallien lines up two of his favorite expressions side by side: blue glass and a gold-painted object. Interpretation of the sculptures is of course up to the individual viewer, but for Bertil, this is first and foremost a playful approach to the ability of glass to continuously change and put its artist to new tests.
Each form has its own narrative. Here, glass and mankind blend in a unique way to tell an emphatic story. Fortress is part of Bertil Vallien’ s anniversary collection,“ Bertil Vallien: 60 years with Kosta Boda”( 1963 – 2023), and is produced at Kosta glassworks in Sweden.
