Story
A glass bird in polycarbonate
Linnut is the Finnish word for birds. The lamps started from the Birds, the blown glass birds that Oiva Toikka has designed for Iittala since the 1970s, and Magis, Iittala and Toikka developed them together as birds in rotational-moulded polycarbonate, a material that gives an effect close to the rich finish of blown glass.
Surfaces that differ from lamp to lamp
Because of the special production process each lamp is unique, and differences in finish or unevenness in the surface pattern are regarded as marks of distinction.
