Designed by Oiva Toikka in 1970, Tundra is a delicate and nostalgic glass collection inspired by the arctic tundras.Â
Toikka often found inspiration in his surrounding nature, and Tundra is no exception, indeed the Tundra pattern is composed of twelve small distinctive patterns, each one represent a plant or a natural element from the Finnish tundra.Â
Each item in the collection is made at the Iittala Glass Factory in Finland.

Oiva Toikka
Oiva Toikka (1931 - 2019) is one of the great personas of Finnish glass design. His imaginative, rich and bold glass art is a departure from mainstream Nordic design. Oiva Toikka’s individual style is also evident in the utility objects he creates as they often deviate from the traditional clean-lined puritanism of Finnish design aesthetics. In addition to glass, his artistic activities cover staging, fashion design and plastic interior design elements.
Oiva Toikka has gained a solid international reputation throughout his prolific career, which dates back to the 1950s, having worked with well-known designers and artists both in Finland and abroad. He has won several prestigious awards including the Kaj Franck Design Prize and the Prince Eugen Medal. In 1993, Oiva Toikka was given the honorary title of Professor of the Arts by the state of Finland. Birds by Oiva Toikka, a series designed for Iittala combines the artist’s limitless imagination with his expertise in the characteristics of glass. The unique and colorful birds, which are all handmade, have become the passion of collector’s worldwide.
