MAGIS Palturi table lamp

Brand: MAGIS

Model: Palturi table lamp
Design by Oiva Toikka

Linnut (Finnish for ‘birds’) is a collaborative project by Magis, Iittala and Oiva Toikka. Magis adds new life to a flock of Toikka’s most iconic mouthblown birds by replacing the glass with a brilliant, versatile plastic. The result is Linnut, a playful collection of five cable-free, movable, and rechargeable sculptured lamps that bring a joyful glow to outdoor dinners, brighten a dark entryway or serve as a nightlight in a child’s bedroom.

Professor Oiva Toikka (born in 1931) is one of the greatest names in Finnish glass. His imaginative, rich, bold glass art deviates from the streamlined aesthetic of the Nordic design. Oiva Toikka is renowned worldwide for his unique and massive contribution to Finnish art glass over the past half-century (the Birds Collection for Iittala is his best-known work. The pieces are renewed annually, and are highly sought after as gifts and collector’s pieces). He has enjoyed an international career and received numerous awards, among them the Lunning Prize, Pro Finlandia Medal, World Glass Now 85 Award, Kaj Franck Design Prize and the Prince Eugen Medal.
