DescriptionDescription: Oiva Toikka’s glass designs break with the Finnish tradition of restrained elegance in form, colour and pattern. The moulded plate with thick walls visualises the weight and liquid form of the heated molten glass. Toikka began his many-sided artistic career as a ceramicist, but he has also worked with plastics, fashion design and installations. Glass, however, has been his material par excellence.
