Linnut (the Finnish word for birds) is a collection of birds developed in collaboration by Magis, Iittala and Oiva Toikka, starting from the collection Birds, the blown glass birds designed by Oiva Toikka for Iittala since the ‘70s. This time the birds are made of rotational-moulded polycarbonate, a material allowing to create an effect very similar to the rich finish so typical of blown glass. A fun and poetic, yet very innovative collection. Sulo, Siiri, Kirassi and Palturi (the names of the birds) are movable cable-free light sculptures. They can be carried out to the terrace to light up a late summer dinner or placed in a child’s room to give off a friendly glow during the night. Or, a Linnut might stand in the entryway, just inside the front door – a friendly night owl, to welcome you home.
