gaissa highball cocktail glass 2 pack
Lapland and ice were recurring themes in Tapio Wirkkala's glasses. Gaissa, designed by Wirkkala in 1973, is a classic collection of mouth-blown cocktail glasses with rocky bottoms and thin walls that reflect the lucid qualities of ice. The shape of the glass is designed to be comfortable and familiar, with the glass holding the hand. This mouth blown, classic barware is available in three sizes.
Born in Hanko, Finland, Tapio Wirkkala is known as the versatile genius of design. His contribution to design includes everything from glass products to the design of banknotes and graphic art. During his career, Wirkkala participated in many international exhibitions, as well as being the artistic director of the University of Arts and Design in Helsinki for many years. He has won a large number of awards, including three gold medals at the Triennale in Milan in 1951, followed by another three in 1954.
