    About Tapio Wirkkala
    Tapio Wirkkala (1915 Hanko, Finland – 1985 Helsinki, Finland) A giant of Finnish design, Wirkkala was an artist of great diversity for whom no material was alien and who left no area of design unexplored. Neosin Neosin

    A glass design competition held by the Iittala glassworks in 1946 was the event that set his career in motion; the first prize went jointly to Wirkkala and Kaj Franck.

    With an oeuvre that ranges from exceptionally beautiful pieces of glass art to industrial design in the form of beer bottles and banknotes, Wirkkala also designed jewellery, sculptures, and furniture.

    The recipient of many awards, honorary titles, and a doctorate, Wirkkala won three Grand Prix medals at the Milan Triennale in 1954 and an additional Grand Prix medal and gold medal at the Milan Triennale in 1960.

  • Over kunstenaar

    Tapio Wirkkala (1915-1985) was een veelzijdig ontwerpgenie, algemeen beschouwd als een leidende figuur van de moderne Finse industriële kunst. Wirkkala's uitgebreide portfolio strekt zich uit van glas, meubels en productontwerp tot beeldhouwkunst, stadsplanning, kunst, grafiek en zelfs het maken van bankbiljetten voor de Finse schatkist.

    Gedurende zijn ongelooflijk productieve carrière ontving Wirkkala talloze onderscheidingen, waaronder drie gouden medailles op de Triënnale van Milaan, de Lunning Prize, Pro Finlandia Medal en de Prince Eugen Medal.

    In 1946 won Wirkkala zijn eerste designprijs in een door Iittala gesponsorde wedstrijd die een levenslange relatie zou markeren met blijvende gevolgen voor zijn carrière en het bedrijf. Als artistiek directeur van Iittala heeft Wirkkala's unieke artistieke visie bijgedragen aan de wereldwijde reputatie van het bedrijf.

    Gedurende zijn legendarische carrière creëerde de uniek getalenteerde kunstenaar meer dan vierhonderd glazen objecten voor Iittala, waarvan vele, zoals de Ultima Thule- en Tapio-series, nog steeds populair zijn.
