Educated at Konstfack, the University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm, Monica Backström started working for Kosta Boda after graduation in 1965. In 2003 she became professor at Kalmar University of Design in Pukeberg, Sweden.

MONICA BACKSTROM\"Glass,\" says Monica Backstom, \"talks about light, about tension and uncertainty, about life itself. The spectrum is infinite. Glass is a plastic medium with a wonderful range of expression.\" Monica explores that infinite spectrum with a body of work that has helped define Kosta Boda as a source of creativity in the art of glassmaking and secure her name as design innovator.Drawing on her formal training as a silversmith, Monica took on the technical challenges of encapsulating metals within molten glass, playfully experimenting with the possibilities of combined materials, creating a new class of product for Kosta Boda.
Monica shares with all artists of Kosta Boda a nearly mystic love of the natural world, a source of inspiration and sustenance for her designs. Organic, \"growing\" forms are signatures of her work,includingthe exploration ofcosmic themes.
