About Tapio Wirkkala
Tapio Wirkkala (1915 Hanko, Finland – 1985 Helsinki, Finland) A giant of Finnish design, Wirkkala was an artist of great diversity for whom no material was alien and who left no area of design unexplored. Neosin Neosin
A glass design competition held by the Iittala glassworks in 1946 was the event that set his career in motion; the first prize went jointly to Wirkkala and Kaj Franck.
With an oeuvre that ranges from exceptionally beautiful pieces of glass art to industrial design in the form of beer bottles and banknotes, Wirkkala also designed jewellery, sculptures, and furniture.
The recipient of many awards, honorary titles, and a doctorate, Wirkkala won three Grand Prix medals at the Milan Triennale in 1954 and an additional Grand Prix medal and gold medal at the Milan Triennale in 1960. - Sobre artista
Tapio Wirkkala (1915-1985) foi um gênio do design multitalentoso, amplamente considerado uma figura importante da arte industrial finlandesa moderna. O amplo portfólio de Wirkkala abrange desde vidro, móveis e design de produtos até esculturas, planejamento urbano, arte, gráficos e até mesmo a criação de cédulas para o tesouro finlandês.
Ao longo de sua carreira incrivelmente produtiva, Wirkkala recebeu inúmeros prêmios, incluindo três medalhas de ouro na Trienal de Milão, o Prêmio Lunning, a Medalha Pro Finlandia e a Medalha Prince Eugen.
Em 1946, Wirkkala ganhou seu primeiro prêmio de design em um concurso patrocinado pela Iittala que marcaria um relacionamento duradouro com efeitos duradouros em sua carreira e na empresa. Como diretor artístico da Iittala, a visão artística única de Wirkkala ajudou a estabelecer a reputação global da empresa.
Ao longo de sua lendária carreira, o talentoso artista criou mais de quatrocentos objetos de vidro para Iittala, muitos dos quais, como as séries Ultima Thule e Tapio, permanecem populares até hoje.
