TAPIO WIRKKALA

(1915 – 1985)

Tapio Veli Ilmari Wirkkala (1915-1985) was a renowned Finnish designer and sculptor, celebrated for his contributions to modern design across various mediums, including glass, ceramics, and metalwork. Among his diverse body of work, his jewelry designs stand out for their innovative use of materials and sculptural forms.

Tapio Wirkkala was born on June 2, 1915, in Hanko, Finland. He studied at the Central School of Applied Arts in Helsinki, where he honed his skills in various forms of design.

Wirkkala's career took off in the 1940s when he started working with the Iittala glassworks. His designs for glassware, particularly the "Kantarelli" vase and the "Ultima Thule" series, brought him international acclaim. His talent wasn't confined to glass; he also made significant contributions to the design of ceramics, furniture, household items and jewellery.

Tapio Wirkkala's jewelry is characterized by its minimalist aesthetic, organic forms, and innovative use of materials such as silver, gold, and sometimes unconventional materials.

 His pieces often reflect the natural beauty and simplicity of the Finnish landscape. Notable works include sculptural silver rings and pendants that are both elegant and functional, embodying the principles of Finnish modernism.

Throughout his career, Wirkkala received numerous awards, including the prestigious Lunning Prize in 1951 and multiple Grand Prix awards at the Milan Triennials. His work is part of the collections in major museums worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
