Nominees 2023: Industrial and product design B2B/B2C

Bod
(Kosta Boda) – B2C

Kosta Boda’s new product Bod is a collaboration between the two designers – and also brothers – Matti and Simon Klenell. Bod is a playful tribute to the possibilities of glass craftsmanship. Two individually familiar forms, fused into a single object with a new and unique expression, intended to last for a long time. These asymmetrical, stemmed bottles are also a nod to Kosta Boda’s long-standing production of wine glasses.
