Designer: Tapio Wirkkala
Precious metal design was somewhat traditional all the way to the 1950’s when Tapio Wirkkala began to reform Kultakeskus’ production. Wirkkala, who was known for his modern design, was particularly fond of large surfaces, heavy objects, and simple, clean forms. On the surfaces of the items, Wirkkala used shine and dulling in order to create striking effects.
During his intensive productive period, lasting over thirty years, Wirkkala designed over 600 items for Kultakeskus out of which many have remained design classic and still belong to Kultakeskus’ range.
