Kosta Glassworks
At our glassworks in Småland, you have the opportunity to experience Kosta Boda and Orrefors glass production up close.
The glassworks is usually open all year round and you are warmly welcome to visit and see an old Swedish craft tradition
and real craftsmanship directly on site in Sweden's now oldest active glassworks.
Some of Kosta Boda's colourful designers have their studios at Kosta Glassworks. Bertil Vallien, Lena Bergström and Kjell Engman, among others, work here in close co-operation with the craftsmen in the factory. Popular glass artists such as Ulrika Hydman-Vallien, Bertil Vallien and Kjell Engman have made Kosta something that many people have a relationship with. The glassworks is Sweden's oldest active glassworks, the furnaces have been running here since 1742. Since then, the glassblowers have mastered the liquid glass mass and refined the craft from generation to generation.
Visitors can witness the spectacle of manual labour in the furnace, but chances are you'll be stuck here for a long time
- it's a fascinating sight. You can also take the chance to try it yourself.
In the mill area you will also find our exhibition hall, Kosta Boda Art Gallery. There you have the opportunity to see current exhibitions.
There is also a factory shop for Kosta Boda and one for Orrefors.
