The Story
Created by Erkkitapio Siiroinen for the Riihimäen Lasi factory in 1971, the "Pablo" vase breaks traditional boundaries, offering a strikingly architectural and bold interplay of forms. This mold-blown geometric masterpiece stands out with its sharp angular lines and symmetrical diamond-shaped relief, catching the light to create dramatic shadows. In an exceptionally intense ruby red tone, the piece acts as a provocative and independent sculpture in any space. Produced for only a few years (1971–1975), "Pablo" appeals to admirers of contemporary and luxurious design. Although linking the name to Pablo Picasso remains a romantic interpretation by collectors, the series perfectly embodies the groundbreaking design experimentation of the 1970s, when flowing organic forms gave way to powerful geometry.

Erkkitapio Siiroinen

Erkkitapio Siiroinen (1944–1996). A bold representative of the "pop" generation in Finnish glass design, Erkkitapio Siiroinen brought a sense of playful geometry and vibrant energy to the Riihimäki Glassworks. Working at the peak of the factory's creative era in the 1960s and 70s, he became famous for his thick-walled, sculptural objects that captured the modern, upbeat spirit of the time. Siiroinen is best known for iconic designs like the Noppapullo (Dice Bottle) and the Veturipullo (Locomotive Bottle), which remain highly sought-after treasures for collectors. His work is a celebration of jewel-toned colors and futuristic shapes, defining a unique and colorful chapter in Scandinavian design history.
