Product Insights & Style Tips

The Kosta Boda Open Minds Vase is equal parts art and attitude—think a pop-surrealist gaze rendered in painterly brushstrokes, mouthblown glass shaped into a statement silhouette. The hand-painted detailing pulls you in: bold lines sketching out an expressive face, each vase carrying its own subtle inflections thanks to Ulrica Hydman Vallien’s signature touch. The crystal-clear Swedish glass has just the right weight, giving the piece substance and a certain tactile coolness—not just for display, but for living with and around.

At just over 14 inches tall, the vase holds its own on coffee tables, mantels, or oversized shelving, whether it’s cradling a sculptural bouquet or sitting solo as a conversation piece. There’s a playful curve to the shape that catches light from every angle; the generous opening accommodates everything from wild sprays of peonies to classic tulips, but the piece stands stunningly empty, a true objets d’art. The Open Minds vase moves easily: shift it from living room spotlight to a moody dining corner or mix it with stacks of art books for an effortlessly collected feel.

Kosta Boda’s legacy of glasswork meets a dose of late-’80s irreverence in this cult favorite design—still ahead of the curve in a climate where statement vases are as coveted as what goes inside. With Ulrica Hydman Vallien’s face motif now iconic, this piece lands at the crossroads of collectible and everyday cool.

10 Chic Poolside Outfits Worth Packing This Summer

As the weather heats up, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a refreshing dip in the pool. The only thing that comes close? Showing up in an impeccably styled poolside outfit. Summer is meant to be fun, and few things are more enjoyable than building an entire outfit around your bikini of the day. Whether you’re jetting off to a resort or simply heading down to your apartment’s pool deck, a chic cover-up ensemble can completely transform the experience. When it comes to mastering the art of poolside looks, consider us well-versed. These outfits are designed to deliver real impact from the moment you arrive to the moment you dive in. The beauty of poolside dressing is that it’s one of the few times your swimwear gets to be the foundation of your outfit rather than something hidden under layers. That means the rest of the look (the cover-up, accessories, and shoes) exists to enhance and complement what’s already working underneath. It’s a refreshing approach to getting dressed, especially after months of layering and bundling up. If you’re in need of warm-weather inspiration, allow us to introduce 10 poolside outfits guaranteed to earn compliments wherever the summer takes you. Each one strikes that careful balance between practical and statement-making, which is exactly what summer dressing should be. Let’s dive right in.
