Rare set of 3 Pine Sculpture by Kaija Aarikka, Finland 1970s
About the Item
Rare set of 3 original Kaija Aarikka pin sculptures manufactured by Aarikka in Finland in 1970s. In this selection, we offer you 3 of the rarest sculptures by Kaija Aarikka, "Ariès", "kurki", and "Tiira". These sculptures date from the 70s, they are the first produced only 300 copies in the world. the purity of the lines gives them a unique design characteristic of Kaija Aarikka's work.
In 1954, Aarikka co-founded together with her husband the eponymous design bureau Aarikka, to design and manufacture initially wooden buttons[5][6] and decorative and household items, later expanding also into personal accessories, dress jewellery and giftware.[2][1][3][5] She worked there as the firm's head designer and artistic director for most of her career, also taking over management duties including chairing the Board of Directors from 1977.[1]
The first Aarikka store opened in 1960, and by the 1980s there were 20.[7]
Aarikka is best known for her simplistic wooden designs, often in characteristic round shapes.[3] One of her most iconic creations is the wooden Pässi ('Ram') sculpture.[8]
From the early 1970s onwards, she also provided free-lance design services for Humppila and Ahlstrom glassworks (both now part of Iittala) as well as for Tampella textiles.[1][3][5] One of Aarikka's glass designs for Humppila is in the British Museum collections.[7]
