Different pigments in the used shards result in shades of blue and gray. Kappa is mouth-blown in a mold and is named after the "bubble" that rises out over the edge of the object during the production process.

Kjell 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 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"
