Olle Brozén

Olle Brozén. Born 1963. Retained by Kosta Boda since 2000, he has a studio at Åfors glassworks. A designer with a mixed background that includes working as a carpenter and as a glassblower in Japan. The Japanese influence is clearly visible in his first sketches for Kosta Boda, a series of stylized patterns inspired by nature. He has also attracted attention with his Round-Trip series: simple, powerful images of vehicles travelling through the city and countryside. Highly simplified patterns and decorations with playful, almost naive subjects, created on a computer, are characteristics of Olle Brozén’s designs.
