Gunnel Nyman created soft, organic glass objects by abstracting ideas from nature and utilising the inherent fluid properties of glass itself. Her work, designed in the late 1940's, was both innovative and thoroughly modern, and inspired a new generation of designers in Finland to look towards nature and experiment with modernity in a soft and abstract manner.

This lilac glass bowl was designed in 1949 and expertly handmade by Nuutajärvi glassworks for two years only. The piece belongs to an important series of 'controlled bubble' works for which Nyman is well-known; the walls contain hundreds of tiny bubbles in an impossibly perfect arrangement.
