About the Item

Saara Hopea is a Finnish female designer. She specialised in interior design at the Central School of Applied Arts in Helsinki, and after graduating, she started her career as a furniture designer before working as a draughtsman at Taito under Paavo Tynell. In 1951, she joined Taito while continuing to work as a freelance interior designer, designing furniture and interiors for the gallery/showroom of Wärtsilä (the parent company of Arabia and Nuutajärvi). Her outstanding work caught the attention of Kaj Franck, who was seeking a designer for Nuutajärvi, and she was invited to join the company in 1952. Together with Kaj Franck, she began designing essential items for post-war life, and in addition to numerous products and art pieces, she also worked on packaging, logos, exhibition spaces, and enamel products for Arabia. In 1954 and 1957, she won the Silver Medal at the Milan Triennale. In 1959, she left Nuutajärvi to take over the family business, but despite her short seven-year career, her achievements as a glass designer are immeasurable. This is a juice set consisting of a 200 ml stacking glass (1718) and a pitcher (1618) set in a basket made of willow and rattan. The stacking glasses, designed in 1952, were among the first products designed at Nuutajärvi. In addition to their functional design, which allows them to be stacked for space-saving storage, they were created with the intention of brightening up the post-war atmosphere with their use of various coloured glasses, which can be stacked to create different colour combinations. These stacking glasses are considered a classic masterpiece. The pitcher, designed to follow the form of the Stacking Glass 1718, features a transparent glass handle attached by hand to the body, which is manufactured using the rotary blowing technique. In 1954, it was exhibited alongside the Stacking Glass 1718 at the Milan Triennale and won a Silver Medal. As a juice set, it was manufactured from 1953 to 1963. All glasses are different colours. ※In good condition with no noticeable damage.
