Bertil Vallien is an artist who needs no further introduction to anyone with a love for the beauty and mystery of glass. During his sixty-year career, Vallien has made himself known among glass lovers primarily for his sand-cast sculptures, not least his world-famous glass crafts. Bertil Vallien has held acclaimed exhibitions all over the world. His art is represented in collections and at prestigious museums in Sweden and internationally. For Kosta Boda, Vallien is of inestimable importance – primarily for his own glass art, but also as an inspiration for other artists and designers. In 2023, Bertil Vallien and Kosta Boda celebrated 60 years of collaboration.
