He was a versatile designer and artist who could shift fluently between different materials and crossed established professional boundaries: he worked on everything from refrigerators to banknotes and from furniture to striking jewels. The most important materials for Wirkkala were wood and glass - he never ceased to explore the possibilities they offer. Tapio Wirkkala designed the elegant Alpina 3570 vase in 1966 and it was in Iittala's production until 1988. The distinctive surface structure of the vase beautifully plays with light and shadow offering a stunning vessel for beautiful bouquets as well as single flowers or branches.
The organic shape of the Alpina vase makes a dazzling decoration also on its own. At the heart of Iittala's design ethos lies a playful yet enduring approach to Finnish glassware craftsmanship.
Although glass still remains at the core of its heritage, Iittala's collections are nowadays a testament to the joy of everyday living, offering a kaleidoscope of versatile tableware and décor in all colours of glass.
