The Iittala Frutta Mug is decorated with Oiva Toikka’s fruit design of apples, grapes and pears. The mug is based on Iittala’s Teema mug, making it easy to combine with other pieces in the Teema series.
Oiva Toikka, known especially for his impressive glass art, was also a talented graphic artist. His artistic vision and humorous style are reflected in numerous drawings and illustrations that have delighted people for decades. The Iittala Frutta mug combines Toikka’s artistic expression with practicality. A great gift for a coffee or tea lover.
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.
