Palturi table lamp
Description
The Palturi table lamp charms with its playful, owl-like appearance. The cordless light sculpture stands on a pedestal, ready to light up the children’s room, living room or anywhere it happens to be placed.
Palturi is part of the Iittala x Magis Linnut collection developed in collaboration with the design legend Oiva Toikka, featuring light sculptures based on Toikka’s iconic Birds by Toikka glass art collection. Made of a new kind of transparent polycarbonate with similar qualities to mouth-blown glass, the flock of distinctive light sculptures emanates the unique nature, whimsical creativity and subtle humor typical of Toikka’s designs. The collection's luminaires, made in Italy, won the prestigious iF Design Award 2021.

Oiva Toikka (1931–2019) was a Finnish designer and glass artist whose imaginative style brought boldness, abundance and playfulness to Nordic design. He is best known for the Birds by Toikka series and the Kastehelmi glassware he designed for Iittala.
Over the course of his career, Toikka also worked with stage art as well as ceramics and other materials, and his work has earned wide international acclaim.
Oiva Toikka brought colorful joy to Finnish glass design
Oiva Toikka is one of the great names of Finnish design. Having studied ceramics, Toikka began his career in the art department of Arabia, but it was above all as a glass artist that he rose to international fame. His expression was distinctive: where Scandinavian design is often known for a pared-back approach, Toikka’s work radiates abundance, humor and surprise.
Toikka’s beloved glass birds
Among Oiva Toikka’s best-known collections is the Birds by Toikka series made by Iittala, whose first bird, Flycatcher, was born in 1972 at the Nuutajärvi glassworks. Over the decades, the series grew into a vast family of birds, each mouth-blown piece an individual of its own.
Oiva Toikka’s glass birds are sought-after collector’s items around the world, and they have made Toikka’s name familiar to international audiences as well.
Kastehelmi and other favorites
Alongside the birds, among Toikka’s most famous works is the Kastehelmi series, inspired by dewdrops, which appeared in 1964 and later returned to production. The 1970 Tundra collection and the 1989 Fruits and Vegetables art glass series are also still in Iittala’s production.
Although glass was an especially important material for Toikka, his career also extended to ceramics, textiles, stage costumes and furniture design. His fearlessness and versatility made him an exceptionally wide-ranging designer.
