Tundra
Designed by Oiva Toikka in 1970, Tundra is a tactile and nostalgic glassware collection inspired by the harsh Arctic wilderness. The design draws inspiration from the demanding conditions in the Arctic tundra, showcasing multiple unique small patterns that together create a compelling entity and structure.
Oiva Toikka (1931-2019) is one of the great personas of Finnish glass design. His imaginative, rich and bold glass art is a departure from mainstream Nordic design. Toikka’s individual style is also evident in the utility objects he creates as they often deviate from the traditional clean-lined puritanism of Finnish design aesthetics.
