He graduated from the School of Art and Design in 1936 and gained a reputation for his work in glass and silver. Wirkkala drew inspiration from the landscapes of Lapland, where he lived part of the year, and his designs often featured forms from nature such as snow, melting ice, boats, and leaves. He worked for several companies simultaneously and designed both everyday objects and unique works of art.

Signed and dated by the artist and with Venini labels. Measurements: 13,5 x 29,5 cm (diameter); 13 x 20 cm (diameter). Pair of centerpieces from the "Korean" series made in clear glass with two wide spiral bands fused in sky blue and apple green. Designed by the famous Tapio Wirkkala in 1966, this extraordinary series materialized thanks to the artisans of the Venini glassworks on the famous island of Murano in Venice in 1985. Tapio Wirkkala was a multi-talented design genius, widely considered a leading figure of modern Finnish industrial art. A multi-faceted artist, his art ranged from glass, furniture and product design to sculpture and urban planning. Wirkkala exhibited all over the world, but was a recluse by nature. His favorite place was a spot so remote in the deep forests of central Finland that helicopters delivered prototypes to his cabin, as no automobile could reach him. It was in nature that he found his much-loved solitude and inspiration for the forms that industry could produce or works of art could create. That same year the director of the Venini glassworks offered him a collaboration with his company. Present on numerous occasions in Murano between late 1965 and 1970 and again in the early 1980s, Wirkkala progressively gained confidence in both the filigree technique and the "discovery" of color. He excelled in the use of the incalmo technique to create polychrome objects in transparent glass that achieved remarkable commercial success. Throughout his incredibly productive career, Wirkkala received numerous awards, including three gold medals at the Milan Triennale, the Lunning Prize, the Pro Finlandia Medal and the Prince Eugen Medal. Awards and distinctions: 1st and 2nd place, Bank of Finland Banknote Design Competition 1947, 4 awards, Olympic Stamp Design 1951, for the 1952 Summer Olympic Games, 3 Grand Prizes at the 9th Milan Triennale, 1951, 3 Grand Prizes, at the 10th Milan Triennale, 1954, Lunning Prize 1951, Order of the Lion of Finland - medal 1955, 1st place, Brussels Universal Exhibition 1957, Medal of the year 1958 of the Society of Industrial Arts, Grand Prize and Gold Medal, Milan 1960, Silver Medal, Milan 1963.Domus Golden Obelisk.

Murano glass blown with the incalmo technique. 1983 edition. Published in “Wirkkala Wall at Venini”, Skira publishing house, p. 148. Signed and dated on the base. Dimensions: 20 x 20 cm. The popular “Bolle” series, which in Spanish translates as “Bubbles,” is one of the most famous and important series by acclaimed designer Tapio Wirkkala. It is made up of vases with evocative shapes: three with a flattened globular body and one with an oval body (no. 502) and a second group of three bottle-shaped vases, with pronounced and rounded shoulders and larger than the first (no. 503). . They are vases made of fine transparent glass in two colors joined using the incalmo technique, with the exception of No. 503.0 which has three colors. The series ran from 1966 to 1967 and was first illustrated at Venini Glassworks. Very sophisticated colors and combinations were used that included both delicate shades such as stump and amethyst or stump and aquamarine. Also bright shades such as green and tea yellow or red and pagliesque. In the mid-1970s the number of models was reduced to five, excluding no. 502.0 and n. 502.3 of the catalog. Model 503.2 of the Bolle series ('Bubbles') transforms air into matter in two different chromatic zones physically united with the incalm technique: the fusion of two blown shapes. Tapio Wirkkala was a multi-talented design genius, widely considered a leading figure of modern Finnish industrial art. A multifaceted artist, his art ranges from glass, furniture and product design to sculpture and urban planning. Wirkkala exhibited all over the world, but was a recluse by nature. His favorite place was a place so remote in the deep forests of central Finland that helicopters brought prototypes to his cabin, since no car could reach it. It was in nature that he found his much-loved solitude and inspiration for the forms that industry could produce or works of art could create. That same year, the director of the Venini greenhouse offered him a collaboration with his company. Present on numerous occasions in Murano between the end of 1965 and 1970 and again in the early 1980s, Wirkkala progressively gained confidence in both the filigree technique and the "discovery" of color. He stood out for his use of the incalm technique to create polychrome objects in transparent glass that achieved notable commercial success. Throughout his incredibly productive career, Wirkkala received numerous awards, including three gold medals at the Milan Triennale, the Lunning Prize, the Finnish Professional Medal, and the Prince Eugen Medal. Awards and distinctions: 1st and 2nd place, Bank of Finland Banknote Design Competition 1947, 4 prizes, Olympic Stamp Design 1951, for the 1952 Summer Olympics, 3 Grand Prix at the 9th Milan Triennale, 1951, 3 Grand Prize, at the Gold, Milan 1960, Silver Medal, Milan 1963., Domus Obelisco Dorado.

Stockholm 1980. Tapio Wirkkala landed in Murano in 1965.
