The black with luster flowing spots and silver face gives a cool impression different from other owls. Imaginative, tasteful and bold, his glass art is outside the mainstream of Scandinavian design. Toikka’s unique style is evident in the everyday objects he creates. In addition to glass, his artistic activities also include stage direction, fashion design, and plastic interior design. Tuikka’s career began in the 1950s, but as a result of his work with prominent designers and artists in Finland and abroad, he has created many works of art that have earned him an unshakable international reputation throughout his career. The series he designed for Iittala, Bird by Toikka, is the result of his expertise in the properties of glass combined with his boundless imagination as an artist.
