Kjell Engman has a penchant for designing challenging models and has a great respect for the glassblowers of Småland. Organic free forms fire the imagination. Colorful, playful and filled with bubbles. “The poppy flower is associated with Demeter - the Greek goddess of fertility and harvest. My inspiration comes from a poppy that just is opening... The colors symbolize the different color schemes of daylight, rain, frost and sun. The amazing shape with its unevenness and texture was somewhat of a challenge to make in glass”
