Kosta (Sweden) - Göran Wärff Designs

Post by Nic on Sat Dec 18, 2010 3:26 pm

Three-sided obelisk, model 95690 designed 1966, with marvered-on grey/blue glass chips on the two rear sides, and a cut and polished 'panel' on the front.

The marvered side is engraved with rustic/naive flora and fauna.

I think they're beautiful little sculptures. I would definitely have kept this one if I had the shelf space.
