Sea Glasbruk: LCR West Hartford's New Gift Line

Sea Glasbruk is one of the newest additions to both LCR West Hartford’s retail shop and lcrcollection.com. Sea Glasbruk is an Orrefors/Kosta Boda company; all of the pieces in the collection are handmade in Sweden, as keeping with their customs. Sea Glasbruk pieces have been hand painted and hand made by Swedish artists for over 50 years. These artists create pieces that both uphold and explore Swedish design traditions. More modern in style, these pieces will add grace to any décor, making them the perfect gift.


Vases from the gift collection exemplify this grace with their angled rim. The vases from the Sea collection, as well as the bowls, are all created by the artists in collaboration with florists, thus ensuring that the pieces better suit floral arrangements. Large Sea Glasbruk vases hold a bouquet of cut flowers beautifully and, when combined with the brilliant colors of the vases, you are left with an absolutely stunning arrangement which will be sure to brighten a dull corner or be the perfect centerpiece on a foyer table.


Other pieces in the collection include a cake plate and large platter. With the clean simple lines that is indicative of modern Swedish design, these pieces a great addition to any tabletop, perfect for entertaining or to be left out as part of the home décor in a kitchen or dining room. The large platter could also serve as a center piece; perfect to hold a candle, potpourri, fruit or anything your heart desires.


Because of the bright and fun colors of Sea Glasbruk, they are not limited to being in a modern decorating style. The Vase in Red would harmonize wonderfully with a rustic or country scheme, whereas the blue, coral and even plum would accent a Tuscan decorating style. Our favorite use of Sea Glasbruk at LCR West Hartford would be for al fresco entertaining. We envision a mixed collection of the colors becoming the dining centerpiece and an excellent showcase for delicious cooking and fresh-cut flowers, a perfect addition to a summer evening spent with close friends and family.

The Sea Glasbruk collection from Orrefors/Kosta Boda is our new must-have. Its bright colors and versatility, combined with great price point, lend it to any lifestyle and decorating scheme. Because of this flexibility they truly make the perfect gift; large platters and bowls have a myriad of uses and with a wide array of colors as well as black and white, there really isn’t anyone who wouldn’t love a piece of the Sea as a gift.
