Original Press Release about this series of created by Sara Woodrow (SMÄM)

Kosta Boda has the joy of introducing a collaboration with a young, female designer, Sara Woodrow (SMÄM) designer; artist and illustrator whose first products will reach the market in late August 2014. 
”It is very exciting to welcome SMÄM to Kosta Boda. SMÄM has made an interesting journey in a short time and she reaches out to a young and interior design oriented target group where we feel that Kosta Boda has a great potential” says Jenny Sundqvist, Head of Product Development and Marketing at Orrefors Kosta Boda AB.
SMÄM has designed three series of products for Kosta Boda, hand molded tiles decorated with Sara’s characteristic paintings. Both the glass, the wooden stand and the hand-painting is made in the local region of Småland, Sweden.
The collection consists of three paintings in each series, The Ladies, In a Storm and Face of Colors.
The Ladies symbolizes the details that make the ladies. A young woman seeking adventure appreciates glamour and class or plays hard to catch.
In a Storm stands for the beautiful, elegant Donnas that have the ability to dress stylishly in any weather. Cool fashionistas strolling the streets carelessly and whose lives are anything but grey, no matter what weather.
Finally, Face of Colors, three strong facial expressions in terms of color, shape and intensity. Captured in just a few strokes of a brush using unexpected color combinations.
Sara Woodrow comments, ”This is a dream come true for me. Art can come in so many different forms. It feels like a huge privilege to see my pictures on exclusive handmade glass from Kosta Boda."
