Tapio Wirkkala (1915-1985) was a multitalented designer, widely considered a leading figure of modern Finnish industrial art. Wirkkala's wide ranging portfolio includes glass, furniture, product design, sculpture, city planning, art, graphics and even creating banknotes for the Finnish treasury. As his reputation grew internationally, Wirkala exhibited throughout the world but he was a recluse by nature. It was in nature that he found his much loved solitude and the inspiration for forms and shapes that industry could produce or artwork could create. Throughout his incredibly productive and long career, Wirkkala received numerous awards including three gold medals at the Milan Triennale, the Lunning Prize, Pro Finlandia Medal and the Prince Eugen Medal.
