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. This was achieved with the \u003ci\u003eincalmo\u003c\/i\u003e technique, an ancient glassblowing method promoted by Wirkkala. He often combined this with the \u003ci\u003emezzafiligrana\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003emurrine\u003c\/i\u003e techniques for which Murano glass is famed.\u003cbr\u003eThe latest in Skira's essential series on Italian glassmaking, \u003ci\u003eTapio Wirkkala at Venini\u003c\/i\u003e covers all of Wirkkala's Venini output in more than 500 color images and detailed descriptions of his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 12.1 x 11.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 02, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47218979307769,"sku":"9788857246666","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/N2dYdFZDZnJqZDg4ekdiRDN5bCt4QT09.webp?v=1768162874","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/tapio-wirkkala-at-venini-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
