TAPIO WIRKKALA - 1915-1985
was one of the pioneers of Finnish industrial art who gained
international recognition in the years following the Second World
War.Tapio Wirkkala (2 June 1915 – 19 May 1985) was a Finnish
designer and sculptor, a major figure of post-war design. He
designed the Finnish markka banknotes introduced in 1955. His
range was immense, designing glassware, stoneware, and jewelry
for mass production, as well as individual sculptures in several
media.
Among his most famous works have been the design for the
Finlandia vodka bottle (1970-2000) and for Iittala's Ultima Thule set
of kitchen glasses. Both glassware items feature a dripping icicle
look, and in the case of Iittala's popular glassware set it took
thousands of hours to develop a glassblowing technique that would
produce the effect.
