Wirkkala often worked with forms drawn from ice, stone, water, plants and the northern landscape. Here the idea is concentrated in the base: thick, uneven glass that looks like melting ice or a mountain surface seen through water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"915\" data-end=\"1121\"\u003eThe upper part remains simple and functional, while the lower part carries the visual drama.
