Designer
Tapio Wirkkala (1915-1985) can be described as one of the icons of Finnish design and a symbol of the international success of postwar Finnish design. He was a versatile designer and artist who could shift fluently between different materials and crossed established professional boundaries: he worked on everything from refrigerators to banknotes and from furniture to striking jewels. The most important materials for Wirkkala were wood and glass – he never ceased to explore the possibilities they offer.

It is Tapio Wirkkala's quite exllent design which is continuasly manufactured long time. I realy think what I could purchase such kind of item at the shop is very happy. His paper weight is exsist in past but not production at the moment. I hope exllent design collections should be continue from now on.
