Bruno Mathson's Glass House - Kingdom of Glass

In Kosta you will find accommodation designed by Bruno Mathsson where time has largely stood still since the 1950s. Here retro and modern comfort meet in perfect harmony. The apartment has large, light-letting glass windows that provide fantastic natural light and create a spacious atmosphere. Timeless details such as mosaic floors and carefully selected furniture give the home character and a sense of elegance from the past.

The apartment has two bright bedrooms with room for four people, a fresh bathroom and a generous kitchen with space for good meals. Breakfast and SPA upstairs at the Kosta Boda Art Hotel are included.

A little history:

In 1950, Bruno Mathson was commissioned by Kosta's artistic director Vicke Lindstrand to design a row of six apartments (later there were five) for the mill's employees, mainly foremen and senior officials. 

Each townhouse has an area of 108 m² and is built at an angle around a private courtyard with the kitchen and living room facing the entrance side and the bedrooms and bathroom separated at an angle to the courtyard.

An official re-opening was held on 14 June 2007 in the presence of then Minister of Culture Leif Pagrotsky. In connection with the opening, the County Administrative Board announced that a decision had been made to declare the glass houses as architectural monuments.
