Tapio Wirkkala (1915-1985) is known as the versatile master of Finnish design. With his signature Tapio series, Wirkkala's master technique captures a bubble in every mouth-blown glass, a small reminder to enjoy the fleeting moment. Only and in-depth knowledge of the material and sensitivity to the meaning of an object can produce such a thought. Just as Tapio is his first name, the glass bubble has become his personal signature of sensitivity to the art of glassmaking.
