ABOUT PRODUCTID 32015
The bowl designed by Bo Borgstrom for the Swedish glassworks Aseda is a quintessential example of 1960s Scandinavian design. Crafted from thick, indigo-colored glass, it features a cool, deep blue tone and a minimalist, rounded silhouette. The partially transparent glass allows light to subtly penetrate, enhancing the depth of color and highlighting the sculptural quality of the piece. Its geometric, gently flared form is accentuated by a pronounced horizontal ridge near the rim—a subtle, modern detail characteristic of the mid-century modern style. The surface is smooth, polished to a high gloss, and the slightly recessed base ensures stability when displayed. Free from additional fittings or ornaments, the bowl’s purity of form stands out. It is preserved in very good vintage condition, with authentic, fine scratches on the surface consistent with period glassware. This object—like a quiet voice from northern Europe—tells of an era when colored glass became the language of modernity. Bo Borgstrom’s bowl speaks of the harmony between color and light: indigo, semi-transparent, catching the day’s and evening’s reflections, its contour echoing the minimalism of the 1960s, when every detail had its purpose and excess was unnecessary. The pronounced rim, almost framing the play of light, is a reminder that simplicity can be the most striking statement. This bowl would make a strong impression atop a low coffee table or console, serving both as a functional vessel and a standalone decorative accent. It can be paired with pale wood veneers, grey wool, or ceramics in natural hues to highlight its cool, deep color. The piece works beautifully in curated mid-century modern settings, alongside Murano glass or minimalist candlesticks from the era. Its form and color also harmonize with calm, Scandinavian-inspired interiors, surrounded by light woods and soft textiles. The listed price refers to one piece.
