Its natural wood body retains the visible grain, while the glossy red breast, black beak, tail and stand create a strong graphic contrast. The exaggerated proportions give the bullfinch an almost sculptural presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSatulintu by Kaija Aarikka\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKaija Aarikka built much of her design language around turned wood, spheres and simple geometric components.
