Iittala, Ultima Thule Beer Glass

Multi-talented genius Tapio Wirkkala was considered the pioneer of modern Finnish industrial art. With his iconic Ultima Thule, the artist defied the rules of glassblowing. Inspired by an ice-covered Finnish island, Wirkkala spent nearly a thousand hours with the glassblowers at the Iittala Glass Factory, to recreate this unique slice of Nordic nature.
