ABOUT PRODUCTID 6141
The Atoll glass bowl, designed by Anna Ehrner for the Swedish brand Kosta Boda in the 1970s, exemplifies mature Scandinavian modernism. Hand-formed from substantial, heavy glass, it features a cool, smoky gray as its base color, with marbled, semi-translucent swirls flowing throughout the mass. The organic, gently asymmetrical shape and softly rounded edges emphasize the individuality of the piece, while the glossy surface reflects light and reveals both tonal variation and depth. Fully signed, with dimensions of 17.5 cm in diameter and 8.5 cm in height, the bowl is made from thick, high-quality glass with a perfectly smooth texture. The condition is excellent—there are no chips, cracks, or visible signs of use. This bowl resonates with the spirit of the 1970s—a decade when Swedish glass spoke of the balance between raw simplicity and subtle expression. Atoll seems to capture a wave in motion: dynamic streaks of color permeate the glass as if reflecting the era’s fascination with material and light. The hand-shaped character leaves a trace of human presence; it is not perfectly symmetrical, but each soft curve suggests attentiveness and respect for craft. The Atoll bowl can serve as a sculptural accent on a low sideboard or coffee table, where light will highlight its depth and structure. It may be paired with minimalist glass or ceramic vases to emphasize its form against the backdrop of simple Scandinavian furnishings. This piece also fits seamlessly into eclectic, collector’s interiors, where it is worth combining with other objects from the era—such as a blown glass lamp or aluminum decorative elements—to create a composition based on the interplay of light and surface.
