Drifter

Drifter expresses simplicity and space with a figure in copper floating freely in its vessel. Drifter is Bertil Vallien's latest shape for his vehicles with his signature glass spiral. Drifter has a cast heel which makes it stand firmly without a stand.

One of Sweden’s most acclaimed glass artists, Bertil Vallien works with a mythical, dreamy, and symbolic world of motifs. He is primarily known as a master of sand-casting, and his work is represented in museums around the world. His solid, deep blue-hued boats are part of modern glass history. Bertil received two major international distinctions—Imagine Museum named him Artist of the Future and the Glass Art Society (GAS) awarded him with the Visionary Award, one of the finest distinctions a glass artist can receive. At Kosta glassworks, Bertil continues to work in search of new expressive forms. However, above all he returns to the shapes of the head, boat, staff, and house.
