The Wick Culture - Design Kartta glass sculpture

Design Kartta glass sculpture

Escape to the cooling climes of Finland through the Kartta glass sculpture. Designed by artist Santtu Mustonen, this bold piece offers a mental (as well as material) gateway to another world. ‘Kartta’ is the Finnish word for map, and the work – representative of how Mustonen renders emotional, mental experiences in visual, tactile form – refers to an imaginary map of another reality located in our mind. The sculpture is made at the Iittala glass factory through a combination of digital manufacturing methods and more traditional metalworking, resulting in its distinctive aesthetic. After a week of tropical heat, it’s the bedside table companion you need.
