  • A proposito di opere artista

    Tapio Wirkkala (1915-1985) è stato un poliedrico genio del design, ampiamente considerato una figura di spicco della moderna arte industriale finlandese. L'ampio portafoglio di Wirkkala spazia dal vetro, mobili e design di prodotti alla scultura, all'urbanistica, all'arte, alla grafica e persino alla creazione di banconote per il tesoro finlandese.

    Nel corso della sua carriera incredibilmente produttiva, Wirkkala ha ricevuto numerosi premi tra cui tre medaglie d'oro alla Triennale di Milano, il Premio Lunning, la Medaglia Pro Finlandia e la Medaglia Prince Eugen.

    Nel 1946, Wirkkala vinse il suo primo premio di design in un concorso sponsorizzato da Iittala che avrebbe segnato un rapporto duraturo con effetti duraturi sulla sua carriera e sull'azienda. In qualità di direttore artistico di Iittala, la visione artistica unica di Wirkkala ha contribuito a stabilire la reputazione globale dell'azienda.

    Nel corso della sua leggendaria carriera, l'artista dal talento unico ha creato più di quattrocento oggetti in vetro per Iittala, molti dei quali, come le serie Ultima Thule e Tapio, sono tuttora popolari.
