Tapio Wirkkala (1915-1985)
was a versatile design genius and is seen as a leading figure in modern Finnish craftsmanship. His contribution to design includes everything from glass, furniture, sculptures, jewelry, cutlery, urban planning, art, to the creation of banknotes and graphics. During his incredibly fruitful career, he has received several awards, including
three gold medals from the Milan Triennial, the Lunning Prize, the Pro Finland Medal and the Prince Eugen Medal
. In 1946, Wirkkala won his first design prize in a competition sponsored by the Iittala company, which led to a lifelong relationship between him and Iittala and had a positive influence on Wirkkala's further career. As Iittala's artistic director, he helped Iittala to gain global renown and created over 400 glass objects. In addition to his collaboration with Iittala, Wirkkala had a close collaboration with Kultakeskus Oy, one of the largest finish silver manufacturers.
