The 2019 Annual bird 'Vuono' is artist Oiva Toikka's unique take on Finland's sensational arctic landscape and the birds that inhabit it. In Finnish, the 'Vuono' means fjord: a deep, narrow, and long sea or lake drain surrounded by steep land.

Each art object fuses rich traditions of glassmaking and the designer’s hands-on-approach with his team of master craftsmen.
