Tapio Veli Ilmari Wirkkala (2 June 1915 – 19 May 1985) was a Finnish designer and sculptor who became a major figure of post-war design. He won many awards but his success as a glass designer began in 1946 when he created a design mimicking ‘dripping ice’ glassware; it is said to have taken thousands of hours to develop the glassblowing technique that would produce this effect.
