Timo Sarpaneva
Finnish, 1926 - 2006
Timo Sarpaneva was a Finnish designer, artist, and educator who lived from 1926 to 2006. He is best known for his contributions to Finnish design, particularly his work with glass, ceramics, and metal.
Sarpaneva was born in Helsinki, Finland, and trained at the Institute of Industrial Arts in Helsinki, where he later became a professor of design. He first gained international recognition in 1954, when he won the Grand Prix at the Milan Triennale for his glass designs.
Sarpaneva's glass designs were characterized by their bold shapes, bright colors, and innovative techniques. He was particularly known for his use of the "pulled glass" technique, in which hot glass is stretched and manipulated to create a unique and organic form.

Sarpaneva was a significant figure in Finnish design and helped to establish Finland's reputation as a leader in modern design. He received numerous awards throughout his career, including the Prince Eugen Medal in 1961 and the Lunning Prize in 1958.
