This Spring, the sun will be shining, the birds chirping…well, not the glass birds from Iittala’s Toikka collection! But that doesn’t mean they aren’t an excellent addition to your decor. Check out a variety of different bird species, including the Owlet, Green Ibis, and Sky Curlew. These birds, designed by Finnish Professor Oiva Toikka, were first created in 1972, and since then the collection has become a fan favorite. They also make an excellent gift, and if you’re searching for a present for the environmentalist in your life check out the Recycled Flycatcher, produced entirely from recycled glass waste.
