Glass etc.

"The properties of glass make it such a unique material that many designers have literally been cast under its spell." This catalogue to an exhibit at the Finnish Glass Museum illustrates and describes the relationship that contemporary Finnish designers have had to glass. Some of the designers work primarily in glass, and others mostly in other media. The book pairs works in glass with other works by the designers and includes quotes from the designers, descriptions of the pieces, and two essays. This heavily illustrated, biligual book includes some iconic pieces and internationally known names, such as Oiva Toikka, as well as many you may not yet recognize. The designers included are:
