Originally designed by Oiva Toikka in 1968, Frutta’s delicate mouth blown serving set, including a pitcher and four tumblers, showcases an embossed fruit design in a beautiful clear glass with a green hue. Each tumbler is elegant and light, while the pitcher is rather substantial. Sold by Iittala, circa late 20th century. Recently, the company has re-released the Frutta line with a slightly new look, inspired by this set.
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. 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.
