Kosta Boda - Ann Wärff - Lysestake (3) - Krystall

Set of three “Snowball” crystal candle holders by Kosta Boda, designed by renowned Swedish artist and sculptor Ann Wärff in 1973.

The Snowball (Snöboll) series has become one of Kosta Boda’s most iconic designs. The distinctive frosted and textured surface was born from Ann Wärff’s experimental work with hot glass. According to the well-known story behind the design, molten glass was blown directly into snow, creating a unique irregular texture reminiscent of freshly packed snow and ice. When illuminated with a tealight candle, the glass softly diffuses the light, creating the warm atmosphere of a traditional Scandinavian snow lantern.
