Description
Taika"Taika" means "Magic" in Finnish. It lets you choose from a variety of bold and enchanting pieces. Haapaniemi’s illustrations inspire your own imagination and storytelling. These fascinating and magical designs gradually reveal their details and layers of meaning to the viewer.The magical pattern created by Klaus Haapaniemi has been combined with the shape of Aika-series designed by Heikki Orvola.
In the beginning of 2014 Taika has expanded to home interior with new textiles - the Taika owl has landed on the merino wool cushion covers and a throw in a more laid-back fashion than in the crockery.
Iittala
In 1881, "Iitala" was born as a glass products manufacturer of Finland, country of forests and lakes. Already at that time, the glassware of the master-glassblower Peter Magnus Abrahamsson had an exceptional brightness, and it still fascinates people.
Designer: Heikki Orvola & Klaus Haapaniemi
Heikki Orvola
Born in Helsinki, Finland, in 1943. Heikki Orvola is one of the driving forces within Finnish design. He works in glass, ceramics, cast iron and textiles. Orvola has worked for the industrial art business, but he has also worked in a variety of different materials as a form of pure, artistic expression. During his career as a designer, Heikki Orvola has received awards and prizes, including the Kaj Franck prize in 1998 – perhaps Finland’s most important design prize.
Klaus Haapaniemi
Klaus Haapaniemi has had plenty of coverage recently in the Finnish as well as foreign media. His CV of design work is impressive: garment prints for Diesel, Levis, Marimekko, Dolce & Gabbana, Cacharel and Bela’s Dead, a new brand. He has also worked as Creative Director of the Italian fashion house Bantam, published a book entitled ‘Giants’ together with the Finnish writer Rosa Liksom, produced illustrations for the Observer newspaper, shown his work in exhibitions – and done a few other things in between. The international WGSN trend analysis service has dubbed him as one of the most important rising stars in illustration and design. The international media often refer to Klaus Haapaniemi’s Finnish roots, and even the Finnish national epic, the Kalevala, has been mentioned. It is true that his illustrations have references to folklore.
