Bio:
Nanny Still (1926–2009) was one of Finland’s most influential designers within glass and lighting. After graduating from the Institute of Industrial Arts in Helsinki, she joined Riihimäki Glassworks in the 1950s, developing a sculptural and colour-rich design language. In the 1960s and 70s she collaborated with RAAK in Holland, creating a series of iconic lamps distinguished by experimental material combinations, patinated metals and inset glass elements.
