DescriptionDescription: The Finnish designer Tapio Wirkkala worked with a variety of object categories, materials and companies. In the 1950s, Finland wanted its design to be included in the successful concept of Scandinavian design, and SAS used Wirkkala’s lighting fixture in an advert to enhance its image as a modern airline. The geometric shapes of his fixtures symbolised a new, bold style that SAS wanted to embody.
