The Tundra tumbler lends an air of fascination to your table setting and is also perfect for special occasions.
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. In addition to glass, his artistic activities cover staging, fashion design and plastic interior design elements.
Toikka has gained a solid international reputation throughout his prolific career, which dates back to the 1950s, having worked with well-known designers and artists both in Finland and abroad. He has won several prestigious awards including the Kaj Franck Design Prize and the Prince Eugen Medal. In 1993, Toikka was given the honorary title of Professor of the Arts by the state of Finland.
