The latest installment in Skira's superb glass series explores the Finnish designer's work for VeniniThis substantial overview explores Finnish designer and sculptor Tapio Wirkkala (1915-85) and his output for the famous Murano glass company Venini. Creator of the Finlandia vodka bottle and designer for companies such as Ittala, Wirkkala's activities with Venini represented a transitional phase in his versatile career and had a profound influence on the Murano glassmaking industry. Most famous of his works for Venini are his particolored bottles: clean, simple forms distinguished by seamless transitions in solid color.

He often combined this with the mezzafiligrana and murrine techniques for which Murano glass is famed.The latest in
