Finnish Design Blog

There is a great article about Oiva Toikka in the upcoming Time Magazine (May 5th issue). Take a look here. Photo from Time Magazine.

I came across this glass blowing course at the San Francisco Center for Glass Art website. Very interesting courses. Many Iittala pieces are hand-blown glass objects, inlcuding all Birds by Toikka and many of the Aalto Vases.

Black is back for 2008! This striking midnight black Aalto Vase is a beautiful display piece. The Aalto Black Vase is in Alvar Aalto’s famed wavy design - Introduced in 1937 - and still modern today.

Oiva Toikka, one of the greatest names in Finnish design, sits down to discuss design, art, his philosopy and more - including Iittala Birds by Toikka. Part 1 of a 5 part series.
