The most famous design by leading figure of Scandinavian Design, Tapio Wirkkala. Inspired by melting ice in Lapland the detailed surface texture is carved into a wooden mould from which the glass is created using a pioneering glass-blowing technique which took hundreds of hours to perfect. Designed in the 1960s Ultima Thule is a truly iconic mix of art and function.
