Product catalog summary

Overview of Oiva Toikka: Oiva Toikka (1931-2019) was a prominent Finnish glass artist known for his imaginative and bold designs that deviated from traditional Nordic aesthetics. His most famous work is the Birds Collection for Iittala, which is renewed annually and highly sought after by collectors. Toikka's career spanned various fields, including glass, ceramics, stage costumes, drawings, and textiles. He collaborated with Magis to create products like the rocking bird Dodo and the Paradise Tree coat stand.

Design and Engineering: Magis explored new materials for rotation moulding and discovered polycarbonate, which is rarely used in Italy. Polycarbonate's versatility allows for unique patterns and shades, similar to blown glass. This discovery led to the creation of the Linnut lamps, inspired by Toikka's Birds collection for Iittala. These lamps are made from rotational-moulded polycarbonate and serve as whimsical, cable-free light sculptures.

Linnut Lamps Collection: The Linnut collection includes birds named Sulo, Siiri, Kirassi, and Palturi. These rechargeable table lamps feature a coloured polycarbonate body, LED technology, and a touch switch with a dimmer function. They are designed for indoor use and are unique due to their special production process, which results in distinctive patterns and finishes.

Production and Sustainability: The production methods for the Bell chair, associated with the Linnut collection, emphasize responsible practices by minimizing energy waste and streamlining manufacturing processes.

“Looking into new materials for use in rotation moulding, we stumbled uponpolycarbonate and quickly realised that hardly any manufacturers in Italy apply this combination – if any at all,” explains Enrico Perin, Magis’ head of development. This is surprising, given just how remarkable – and brilliantly coloured – polycarbonate materials are. In fact, polycarbonate is so versatile that a transparent sheet can belayered onto a second opaque sheet. Adding differently-coloured granulates, the glossy surface can be endowed with new patterns and shades – unique from object to object. “With polycarbonate,...
