Wirkkala is known as the multi-talented genius of Finnish design, the
Philippe Starck of his generaton. His scope extended from glassware to
bank note design and utility graphics.
He was one of the most
acclaimed of the Finnish designers in the Milan triennale in the post
war years and is perhaps best recognised for his inspiration taken from
nature. Where his designs for iittala are instantly recognisable, not so
well known are his many creations in porcelain and stainless steel for
the German company Rosenthal.
Many of these designs have been
reissued for 2012 only, including these graceful birds which appear to be swimming across a tranquil lake.
