For Tapio Wikkala, perfection lies in the middle, in a perfect balance. His vase is a bottle in the colours straw yellow and apple green. The two separate colour areas are physically connected by the Incalmo technique, in which two blown shapes are fused together by heat.
The Bolle collection shows landscapes of glass and colour that merge above and below. Tapio Wirkkala's works create matter from air and transform colour into places.
The Incalmo technique is one of the most complex processing techniques. It involves combining two hot-blown shapes around the circumference to create the evocative meeting of different areas, usually of different colours, in the same object.
Tapio Wirkkala was a well-known Finnish artist and designer who made the Finnish school internationally famous. Already in the 1960s, when he designed his first objects for VENINI, he had had an outstanding career in various fields of design. His collaboration with VENINI was an interesting phase in his career and at the same time influenced the world of Murano glass making. He further developed the "Incalmo" technique and often combined it with "Mezzafiligrana" and "Murrine" due to the skills of the glassmakers and the rich colour palette. His works can be seen in the most important museums worldwide.
