Birch. Very rare example with plywood legs. Measurements: H: 40 cm/ 1' 3 3/4" L: 124 cm/ 4' 7/8" W: 62 cm/ 2' 3/8. Tapio Wirkkala (1915-1985) can be described as one of the icons of Finnish design and a symbol of the international success of post-war Finnish design.

Wirkkala’s sculptures represented exceptional abstractism and gave Finnish sculpture...
