Designer: Oiva Toikka
For over 35 years, Oiva Toikka has created the Birds collection. His limitless
imagination and knowledge of glass has made it possible to create small
miracles of life, sought after by collectors globally. Each bird is individually
mouth blown and thus unique, a gift that keeps on giving forever.
Professor Oiva Toikka is one of the great names of Finnish design. The
Iittala Birds originated in 1972 with Toikka’s small Flycatchers. Today the
collection grows with collectors all over the world who enjoy these art
objects as simple reminders of poetry in everyday life. These lyrical
creatures are a feat of craftsmanship – each bird is as diverse and
individual as those who collect them.
Toikka’s visions are still brought to life by craftsmen at the Nuutajärvi
factory in Finland, where the Iittala glass workshops have always been
located. Each bird is signed “O. Toikka Nuutajärvi” as a proof of
authenticity.
