Solid Brutalist Art Glass Plate by Pentti Santalahti, Humppila, Finland

About the Item

Solid brutalist art Glass plate by Pentti Santalahti, Humppila, Finland. A typically sharp piece of Finnish design from the 1970s, simple yet bold with a very stylish look that will make a statement. It has a very warm brown nearly as dark honey in the center surrounded by clear glass, which has a texture. The plate will give a minimaluxe feeling, luxury with a pared back simplicity. It is 28cm in diameter and about 5cm high (11.02" & 1.96") and in a very good condition. The price includes free shipping. Santalahti was as many other Finnish glass designers influenced by elements of the rugged Finnish landscape, casting textures from materials such as tree bark and rock. Finland has for many become synonymous with design in many areas, especially when it comes to Finnish glass art. Finnish glass art has been made and still is made at factories and studios, where they have produced some of the most iconic pieces, which can be seen at exhibitions and museums all over the world today. The international spotlight for its Finnish glass art came in the mid 1930's with artists and designers such as Alvar Aalto, Oiva Toikka, Tamara Aladin, Tapio Wirkkala, Kaj Franck, and Timo Sarpaneva. In the 19060s and 70s we also have important designers such as Helena Tynell and Nanny Still among others. However, newer artists are still emerging to continue the tradition in innovative forms.
