About the Item

Shot Set Designed by Tapio Wirkkala for Iittala A bottle and six glasses presented in a fine oak case. A rare collector’s set. The glasses are approximately 5.5 cm tall with a diameter of 3.5 cm. The bottle measures approximately 17 cm in height, 11.5 cm in width, and 5 cm in depth. Tapio Wirkkala – Master of Finnish Design Tapio Wirkkala 1915–1985 was one of Finland’s most renowned designers and artists, whose influence spanned across glass, wood, metal, porcelain, and graphic design. He is considered a central figure in Finnish modernism, and his works have been exhibited internationally. Wirkkala rose to international prominence at the 1951 Milan Triennale, where he was awarded the Grand Prix. He gained particular acclaim for his glass designs for Iittala and the iconic Finlandia vodka bottle, both of which became symbols of Finnish design excellence. His famous Ultima Thule glassware series remains a timeless classic, inspired by melting ice and the rugged beauty of northern nature. Although Wirkkala is best known for his work with glass, his talent extended to many other areas. He designed banknotes for the Bank of Finland, knives (notably for Marttiini), sculptural wooden objects, and silver jewelry. His work was characterized by respect for natural forms, clean lines, and meticulous craftsmanship. He worked across both artistic and industrial realms, creating unique pieces as well as products for mass production. Tapio Wirkkala’s design philosophy was uncompromising yet accessible. He built a bridge between the Finnish natural landscape and international design in a way that continues to resonate decades later. During his career, he received numerous accolades, including the Pro Finlandia Medal (1951) and the honorary title of Professor 1972. Wirkkala’s legacy lives on—his objects are treasured collectibles, and his approach to design continues to inspire new generations. He did not simply design objects; he interpreted Finnish identity and the beauty of nature in a truly unique and enduring way.
