Nuutajarvi
Founded in Nuutajärvi, Finland in 1793, it is the oldest glass manufacturer in Finland.
Although Nuutajarvi has been around for over 200 years, it has had various histories.
In 1950, the factory burned down. The owner at that time did not have the financial strength to rebuild the factory, and Nuutajarvi was sold to Wartsila, a company famous for ARABIA. With this acquisition Nuutajärvi's products will be sold under the ARABIA-Wartsila brand.
After this merger in 1950, Nuutajärvi's products boomed, partly due to the presence of Kaj Franck, who became an art director.
Oiva Toikka joined the company in 1962. I built a golden age with Kaj Franck.
Although it merged with iittala in 1988, Nuutajärvi products are very popular and there are many collectors around the world.
Timo Sarpaneva (1926-2006)
He had a global influence in the Finnish design industry. A designer, sculptor and educator, Sarpaneva's pioneering glass work was a fusion of art and utilitarian design. Besides glass, Sarpaneva also worked with textiles, wood, magnets and metals. It was Sarpaneva's unique industrial design that gave Finnish design its international reputation. Sarpaneva's work has been exhibited all over the world. During his illustrious career, he has been well recognized, including winning the Luning Prize, and twice at the Milan Triennale. In 1976 Sarpaneva was awarded the title of professor emeritus by the Finnish government. Throughout his long collaboration with Iittala, Sarpaneva has been a contributor to creating a hallmark of the Iittala style. He also designed the Iittala logo, the 'i'.
