The groundbreaking raised droplet design of Kastehelmi came from legendary designer Oiva Toikka’s goal to find a way to hide joint marks in glass. Kastehelmi (“dewdrop” in Finnish) features rings of raised glass droplets that resemble strings of dewdrops glistening under the morning sun. The beloved Kastehelmi collection offers a wide range of playful pieces that are both functional and decorative. Each distinct yet versatile piece plays with light, bringing out the reflective beauty of the glass. The clear Kastehelmi bowl comes in a generous size that is perfect for serving salads, fruits, desserts and other cold foods. An elegant addition to any table setting. A great wedding or housewarming gift.
Oiva Toikka (1931-2019) er ein helsta persóna finnskrar glerhönnunar. Hugmyndarík, og djörf glerlist hans er fráhvarf frá almennri norrænni hönnun. Einstakur stíll Toikka kemur einnig fram í nytjahlutunum sem hann býr til þar sem þeir víkja oft frá hefðbundnum hreinum púrítanisma finnskra hönnunarfagurfræði. Auk glers nær listræn starfsemi hans til sviðssetningar, fatahönnunar og innanhúshönnunarþátta úr plasti.
