Iittala Birds
The Iittala brand is part of the Iittala Group, a leading homeware design company. Its roots date back to 1881 when a glass factory was established in littala, a small village in southern Finland. The Iittala Birds collection was created by Oiva Toikka, an internationally renowned artist and one of the greatest names in Finnish glass design. His imagination and Iittala’s skilled Finnish glassblowers have been creating these magical glass birds for over 30 years.
The Iittala Birds collection was further extended in 2007 with a series of pieces by the Italian designer, Giorgio Vigna. The young Finnish designer, Anu Penttinen, is behind the latest addition to the collection. If Oiva Toikka’s birds are elegant and watercolour-like, and Giorgio Vigna’s are akin to a series of abstract sculptures. then Anu Penttinen’s birds transport us into the world of carnivals and street parties. Choose the one that suits your mood best and enjoy a timeless piece of unique glassware forever.
