The Arkipelago series by Timo Sarpaneva for Iittala sums up Finnish glass design: clear, powerful and inspired by nature.

Typical features include thick-walled shapes, trapped air bubbles, and textured surfaces reminiscent of frozen water – as in this angular object with a sculptural character.

Sarpaneva was considered a visionary of Nordic design. His works combine craftsmanship and art, making Arkipelago one of Scandinavia's most iconic series.
