Milla Vaahtera Centerpieces
Milla Vaahtera is a Finnish contemporary artist and designer, born in 1981 and working in Helsinki, Finland. The themes of her works extend from body image and sexuality to intuition and dialogues in the creative process. She graduated with a master’s of arts degree in 2010, from Aalto University, the School of Arts, Design and Architecture. She did her BA studies in Lahti Institute of Design, in 2008. Vaahtera’s work is featured in several exhibitions at galleries and museums, including the Design Museum Finland, Lokal Gallery and UU Market. She is most known for her dialogue series, Mobiles and Stabiles, in which she combines bold glass parts with delicate brass. The process of making dialogue pieces is based on dialogue and improvisation. She is passionate to revive the Finnish heritage of glass-blowing and in ensuring that the young generation of makers get ample opportunities to deepen their skills.

Materials: Glass
In 2021 Milla Vaahtera started a series of unique sculptural and blown glass serving objects. These objects are useful as serving or as vases, but most importantly they are sculptures. Milla Vaahtera is beginning a new series rethinking the objects of home as sculptures.
Glassblowers: Paula Pääkkönen, Sani Lappalainen, Otto Koivuranta, Jukka Viuha, Penna Tornberg and many other glassblowers from Nuutajärvi.
Vaahtera began to work on this series in May 2017 together with glassblowers Paula Pääkkönen, Sani Lappalainen, Pauli Vähäsarja, Henni Eliala and Jonas Paajanen of Nuutajärvi. The metal parts were prepared by silversmith Kirsi Kokkonen together with Milla Vaahtera. The method was based on dialogue with the glass artists, improvisation and intuition.
The ethereal pieces are a revival of the mobile tradition that emerged in the 1930s.The heavy glass parts and the delicate brass seek a balance with each other, thus creating tensions within the works.

Leda Low Table-Sculpture by Salvador Dalí
By Salvador Dalí
Located in Barcelona, ES
During the ‘thirties in Paris, Salvador Dalí surrounded himself with a circle of friends involved in the application of art to varied disciplines, above and beyond the study of pure pictorial art. Jean-Michel Frank, a furniture maker and decorator of recognized prestige in the Paris of those years, was on very good terms with Dalí and together they worked on several ideas. The Bracelli lamp which we present here is a classic design after Jean-Michel’s manner of designing and working, adopted by Dalí for his house at Portlligat. Amongst Dalí ’s specific furnishing projects, and constituting another for his curriculum vitae as a designer, may be counted the garden furnishings for his Portlligat house, the complete architecture of the Night Club (garotte-shaped) for the Hotel Presidente in Acapulco (1957) and another project for a bar in California in the ‘forties. As shown by the small selection now produced and included in this catalogue, Dalí ’s work was not restrictes to the traditional furnishing elements, but included tap fittings, handles, door-pulls, printed fabrics and objets of indeterminate use. In the 1990s a group of experts, led by Oscar Tusquets, set themselves the task of turning the furniture Dalí had drawn for Jean-Michel Frank into reality. Amongst these items were the Leda chair...
