Bo Borgström

Bo Borgström was a prominent Swedish glass artist and chief designer at Åseda Glassworks in the 1960s and 70s. With a background in ceramics, he brought an artistic and innovative expression to the factory's glass production, which contributed to Åseda's strong profile in Swedish retro design.

His work is characterized by soft, organic shapes and bold colors such as red, blue, green and orange. Bo Borgström mainly designed vases, decanters and decorative objects in blown glass, often with simple but powerful silhouettes and toned color transitions.

Today, Bo Borgström's glass from Åseda is a sought-after collector's item and represents a typical and colorful part of the history of Swedish glass art.
