ABOUT PRODUCTID 114
The 'Revontulet' bowl, designed by Tapio Wirkkala for Humppilan Lasi, exemplifies Finnish glass artistry from the 1970s, uniting sculptural form with organic detailing. Crafted from thick, molded glass, the bowl features a striking color gradient—shifting from deep, warm amber at the base to nearly colorless, clear glass at the jagged, irregular rim. Its surface is defined by vertical, uneven ridges reminiscent of flames or icicles, accentuating the dynamic, nature-inspired character. The glossy finish intensifies the saturation and interplay of light within the glass structure. Absence of visible seams or joints highlights the precision and mastery of craftsmanship. Condition: the bowl remains in excellent condition, with no chips, cracks, or visible signs of wear.This piece echoes the Nordic inspirations of the 1970s: Tapio Wirkkala translated the Finnish fascination with light and raw nature into glass, creating an object that evokes both the aurora borealis and the glow of a campfire. The dynamic, vertical textures express the energy of the natural world, while the transparency allows light to softly filter through, illuminating interiors with a warm amber hue. The form subtly narrates the story of Finnish design—rooted in observation of nature and reverence for the material.The 'Revontulet' bowl may serve as a centerpiece in the living room, displayed on an oak or marble table where its organic silhouette is accentuated by natural light. It can be paired with minimalist decor or ceramics in muted tones to highlight the depth of color and glass texture. This piece fits seamlessly into mid-century modern-inspired interiors, as well as into eclectic, collector’s spaces where unique objects build a cohesive narrative.
