Pallas
Pallas is a sculptural glass vase designed by Tapio Wirkkala in 1969. The inspiration behind this grand vase comes from the melting ice of the far north in Lapland. Pallas is an impressive object, whether displayed on its own or with flowers. Each vase is handcrafted and mouth-blown at the Iittala glass factory in Finland.
Tapio Wirkkala (1915–1985) was a design genius and a leading figure in modern Finnish industrial art. His portfolio covered glass, furniture, product design, sculpture, city planning, graphics and even Finnish banknotes. International success brought exhibitions around the world, yet he remained a solitary figure whose strongest inspiration came from nature.
