Price History
Description
Oiva Toikka (1931 – 2019) is one of the most renowned Finnish designers in the field of glass art. His famous glass birds are highly prized by art collectors. Oiva Toikka enjoys a successful international career and has received numerous awards and accolades. Originally designed by Oiva Toikka in 1964, the Kastehelmi series was relaunched in 2010. Iconic collection of Iittala, its timeless design has survived the decades without ageing one bit. Kastehelmi ("dewdrop" in Finnish) is inspired by dewdrops that shimmer like a string of pearls in the morning sun. The idea of using glass drops as decoration came to Toikka while he was thinking about different ways to cover the marks left by the glass production process... A brilliant idea, which was behind the success of the collection! Each piece in the collection is adorned with circles of delicate bubbles embedded in the pressed glass. This relief decoration plays with light and gives each piece its own distinct character. A great wedding or housewarming gift.
Our Stylist Says
I love this little cube-shaped candle holder for its simple yet timeless design. Its clear glass with textured detail allows it to fit seamlessly into both modern and Scandinavian interiors, adding a subtle touch of colour and sophistication without overpowering the space. It's perfect for creating ambient lighting on a coffee table, sideboard, or bathroom shelf. For practical styling, group it with other candles or small decorative objects, and consider layering different colours or sizes for visual interest. Its compact size makes it versatile and easy to incorporate into various settings, from minimalistic clean-lined spaces to cosy, curated shelves.
