Swedish Coquille Glass Object: Flygsfors

$42.00

I didn’t just mash the keyboard for that last word; it’s both a municipality in Sweden and a well-known glass-making company with a reputation for skilled glass art. The designer Paul Kedelv started up making these cool “Coquille” objects in 1949 (I like to think of them as the Swedish glass version of dumplings since they look like he stretched and pinched them but forgot to fill them with pork). A piece of history and also an instant upgrade to any shelf it lands on. Or put an air plant in it. Or use it for a key tray right next to your front door. Or smash it in effigy to your Swedish partner who left you at the altar. I don’t know your life.
