Why buy vintage glass by Aimo Okkolin?
He was among the first designers in the 1950s to create crystal décor and tableware with modernist forms. Non-traditional crystal pieces are quite rare and were produced only by the finest designers of the 1950s–70s.
Okkolin found inspiration in organic patterns, weaving their intricate shapes into crystal casting and cutting techniques. His creations are consistently beautiful and poetic.
