IITTALA BIRDS BY TOIKKA
IITTALA BIRDS BY TOIKKA
Designed by Oiva Toikka
Finnish design legend Oiva Toikka’s iconic collection of glass birds took flight in 1972 at the Nuutajärvi glass factory.
Created in close collaboration with the glassblowers, the collection combined Toikka’s passion for nature and blown glass art.
In 2014 the production of the series was transferred to the Iittala Glass Factory, where Toikka continued his close partnership with the team. Each bird is unique down to the minute detail.
DESIGNER
OIVA TOIKKA
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.
Toikka has designed a range of home products for Iittala with his Annual Cube, Birds by Toikka, Frutta, Flora, Kastehelmi, Oiva Toikka Collection and Tundra Collections.

EXPLORE THE COLLECTION
Oiva Toikka (1931-2019) is one of the greatest names in Finnish design. His iconic collection of Birds by Toikka first took flight back in 1972 at the Nuutajärvi glass factory with the creation of his small glass Flycatchers. Since then hundreds of new birds have joined the flock. The collection embodies a rich fusion of glassmaking traditions and would not have been possible without Toikka’s hands-on-approach at the glassworks and his keen understanding of each employee’s skills. Today, each glass bird is handcrafted and mouthblown at the Iittala Glass Factory.
