Finnish design legend Oiva Toikka’s iconic collection of Iittala glass birds took flight in 1972. Nature and Toikka’s passion for blown glass art, each bird is unique down to the minute detail. This gives every bird its own personality making it a true one-of-a-kind art object. Handcrafted and mouthblown at the Iittala Glass Factory, the collection embodies a rich fusion of glassmaking traditions and Toikka’s hands-on approach with his team. Birds by Toikka Kuulas uses a simple rain-colored glass to showcase the bird’s plump body. Its flat tail and teardrop head are made of contrasting dark glass.
