The hammered pattern emulated the look of birch bark, giving this hard surface a softness that feels wonderful to the touch. The perfect size, not too small, not too big.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTW 243 by Kultakeskus Oy, Finland 1967\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eapprox 6\" x 3.6\" H\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTapio Wirkkala\u003cspan\u003e (1915 – 1985) was one of the most celebrated and multi-disciplinary designers of the 20th Century. From ketchup \u0026amp; vodka bottles to postage stamps, his designs traversed mediums and improved the lives of all who live with his work. Like all good Finns, he was obsessed with nature - leaves, shells, ice - he had a way of transforming hard materials into soft and wonderful objects. And to this day, his designs are amongst the most collectible as they are beautifully timeless.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ci\u003eTapio Wirkkala: Eye, Hand and Thought\u003c\/i\u003e, Saarela \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tapio Wirkkala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44254850252915,"sku":null,"price":2600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/3449\/7395\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_b1676b74-c2c2-4e7c-930e-8cfa26790799.jpg?v=1769521318","url":"https:\/\/www.joannafrankdesignshop.com\/products\/tapio-wirkkala-textured-silver-bowl","provider":"joannafrankdesignshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
