Vintage mid century 60s brutalist heavyweight glass candle holder ‘HEINA KAINALOSSA’ by designer Kaija Aarikka for Humppila Finland.
Humppila Glass was founded in Finland in 1952, by three brothers: Jonni, Martti and Olavi Helander, all former glassblowers at Nuutajarvi. In 1970 the company was bought by Rolf Alander.
Kaija Aarikka (1929-2014) is best known for her jewellery and home designs made of wooden beads, designed for Aarikka, a company she founded in 1954 with her husband Erkki Ruokonen. Even though most Aarikka products are made of wood, Kaija Aarikka was very broadminded when it came to experimenting with different materials; she graduated as a textile artist and often used materials like glass or silver in her designs. In 1994, the beloved designer received the prestigious Pro Finlandia Medal and in 1999, she was awarded the Finnish honorary title of ’kauppaneuvos’ by the President of the Republic of Finland.
