This beautiful book focuses on the 12 year period that Sahlin spent as designer for the prestigious Kosta Boda glassworks, a period that saw the internationally renowned glass company leap into bold new directions. Not a craftsman herself, Sahlin brought with her a host of ideas from unrelated disciplines and her experiments tested the limits of traditional concepts in glass design. Along with the craftsmen and glassblowers, she created extraordinary works of lasting beauty. Stunning images of her work presented in a playful, creative, and personal layout make this book an aesthetic delight.

She is one of the first in Denmark to be part of the glass art movement, devoted to designing and fabricating public art, using her mediums glass and mosaics. About her work she says, “Public art is a duet with architecture an inspiration for the viewer and a poetic dimension to a space”. In her more that 50 public art commissions in Europe and United States for schools, Universities, public squares, City Halls, senior centers, libraries, public swimming halls etc., she uses stained glass, painted/ tempered glass, sandblasted glass, and mosaics with many different variations of methods, always trying out new solutions.

Though Nanny Still has worked increasingly in an international context, she has retained her distinctive Finnish qualities. She is noted for her unparalleled sense of beauty, simple and organic sources of inspiration, refined composition, and her perfect adaptation of technical processes to optimize the desired effects. As a testament to her talent, her Harlequin – a “charming liqueur carafe with its round, globular forms” – has become a classic work of Finnish design. This important exhibition presents both her older works in a variety of materials, and her recent sandcast sculptures, many of which were inspired by mythological themes.

The work of Oiva Toikka (b. 1931) from the1960s to the late 1980s was shown at the Finnish glass musuem. This extensive catalog includes his influential work for major design firms, such as Arabia and Nuutajärvi. Apart from bold tableware, Toikka makes glass objects so large that they become a part of the furniture of a room, and the most stunning of these are the folding screens made from square panes of blown colored glass. A good addition to any collection of modern Finnish glass.
