Matti Klenell
Matti Klenell is a designer born in 1972 who works with several materials, including glass. Kosta Boda documents his design work and presents Viva with drinking glasses, carafes and jugs among its products. These are objects shaped around function and use as well as visual expression.
His background includes studies in design and interior architecture. Klenell names the person behind documented designs, while Kosta Boda is the manufacturer of the relevant Viva products. Retain both details when cataloguing an object, together with its model and measurements.
When buying pre-owned pieces, establish the size and variant. Compare outline, proportions and capacity with the manufacturer's model information. Inspect drinking rims, bases and any handle attachments for damage. The surname Klenell alone is insufficient attribution, and one glass cannot establish that an assembled group was originally sold as a single set.
