Tapio Wirkkala Hand Hammered Round Silver Bowl, Kultakeskus 1970
-
Description
Tapio was always a hands on experience kind of designer. He always visited the work area of his objects and collaborated with the glass blowers or other handy and craftsmen that created the different items.
Here we have a handmade and made to order silver dish that is finished by hand hammering the surface. It is so simple, minimal, and elegant and suits a number of different purposes. It can be used as a decorative centerpiece in any interior. It can also be handy as a fruit dish or other similar useful object. The dish is fully stamped and dated 1970.
Tapio wirkkala was an exceptionally talented designer regardless of the materials used. Although he established super stardom with his art glass objects in the 1950s by winning a number of Grand Prix and other awards in the Milan Triennials, his hand made silver objects were also remarkably futurisric and innovative. Rarely does a designer command such an expansive talent and career as Wirkkala did. Inspired by nature and armed with exceptional understanding of geomety and ratios, his designs literally shaped much of our daily lives.
Designs ranging from daily items such as money, jewellery, cutlery, working tools, furniture, logos, etc. to purely artistic creations.
You name it, he designed it!
He tackled and mastered all workable materials like marble and stone as a sculptor to wood, fabric, glass, ceramics, metals and plastic. He did it all and can deservingly be named the da Vinci of Finnish design. -
