‘The Sculptor of Ultima Thule’ is an exhibition celebrating the 110th anniversary of Finnish designer Tapio Wirkkala’s birth. Co-produced by the Espoo Museum of Modern Art, the Tapio Wirkkala Rut Bryk Foundation and Blue Sheep, it features more than 300 of Wirkkala’s works. It is also headlined by the exhibition’s namesake collection, created in partnership with Finnish glassware specialist Iittala. We’re joined by Petra Wirkkala, Janni Vepsäläinen and Tsuchida Takahiro to discuss Wirrkala’s legacy in Finland and Japan.
