Bronze bowls by Tapio Wirkkala Models 446-448, Kultakeskus 1970s
By Kultakeskus Oy, Tapio Wirkkala
Located in Helsinki, FI
Tapio Wirkkala designed a large number of items fo Kultakeskus OY. Materials ranged from silver to bronze and other metals.
This particular model was introduced in 1971 in a number of different sizes ranging from 160-290 mm. 48 pieces of these were given in 1978 World Champions sky competition in Lahti, Finland.
This was also officially introduced in an exhibition in London in 1972.
This design is of course very functional as well, since these bowls can be used for a variety of reasons, such as fruit bowls and so on.
These 2 pieces came from the same household, so they sustain similar patina, since they aged in the same surroundings.
The measures 25x8 cm are for the bigger bowl.. The smaller one is 16x7 cm.
The bigger bowl has beautiful darker beauty marks or vintage spots 🙂 that only come with age and use, refer to pictures please.
Rarely does a designer command such an expansive talent and career as Wirkkala did. Inspired by nature and armed with exceptional understanding of geomety and ratios, his designs literally shaped much of our daily lives.
Designs ranging from daily items such as money...
