Cut Glass Vase by Kaj Franck for Nuutajärvi Notsjö

This striking Modernist form has facetted and polished sides that interact beautifully with the light. It features cased glass of clear, navy blue and amber hues with exceptional lines and shading that change at different angles.

Kaj Franck (1911 – 1989) was a very influential Finnish designer whose design practice truly embodies the democratic values of his native country. Described as ‘the conscience of Finnish design’, Franck created simple, yet stunningly beautiful work that typically consisted of striking geometric forms and bold colours. A strong advocate for the importance of recycling, the designer shunned materialism, excess and throwaway culture, in favour of timeless, enduring and minimalist designs.

The underside is signed 'K Franck Nuutajärvi Notsjö -62'. It is in excellent vintage condition with no heavy scratches, notches, cracks or repairs.
