A luminous example of mid-century Swedish glass design, this “Bamboo” vase by Bo Borgström for Åseda Glasbruk dates to the 1960s and reflects the elegant simplicity of his celebrated series.
Unlike the more heavily ribbed yellow variant, this piece features a smoother, flowing bamboo-inspired form, echoing the graceful segmentation of Borgström’s gradient and cobalt examples. The deep, rich yellow casing is warm and vibrant, paired with a clear interior that allows light to pass through beautifully, creating depth and a sense of movement. The soft transitions between the raised sections lend the vase a refined, sculptural presence, making it equally suitable for a single floral stem or as a striking standalone object.
Its lighter flow enhances its versatility and subtle sophistication, perfect for contemporary interiors or a curated display of mid-century Scandinavian design.

🧡 Why It Stands Out
The smoother, flowing form paired with the deep yellow tone gives this vase a refined elegance, bridging the character of the ribbed yellow piece and the more translucent gradient examples. A beautiful, versatile example of Borgström’s 1960s “Bamboo” series.
