The factory is situated in what is known as the Chrystal Kingdom region in Sweden. In 1903, the company merged with the Reijmyre glasbruk (glassworks) but both retained their own names and Kosta went on to maintain its reputation as one of the leading Swedish manufacturers with a range of fine art glass and tableware by distinguished designers such as Vicke Lindstrand, artistic director from 1950-1973. With Vicke Lindstrand in charge of the modern art glass production, the company became one of the leading companies when it comes to modern art glass and interior design object in the 1960s and 70s following Vicke Lindström’s legacy in connection to Scandinavian design, often focusing on vases as well as other modern glass objects. Lots of their goods is today still seen as modern classics. The company employed some of the leading designers of its time such as Mona Morales, Göran Wärff and Bertil Wallien.
