Product Description
Glass metamorphoses from a viscous mass to clear crystalline objects. It is capricious and difficult; it is a material which lives many lives.
During his career he distanced himself from the functionalism and constructivism dominating the Finnish industrial designs of the 50s, and explored new forms that married industrial product and objet d’art. His conviction that even a simple everyday object can possess architectural qualities can be seen in many of his practical and beautiful projects.
Timo’s career, in all its artistic vision, is also the story of a socially engaged Scandinavian designer. In many of his designs to be found in museums around the world, as well as in the Timo Glass, the glass itself is sculpted solid rather than drawn and blown. “I have tried to bind eternity within the silence of the glass, to fix the fleeting moment which so quickly dissolves, in all its fragile beauty.”
