The Story
Gunnel Nyman's "GN 3," designed in 1947, is a masterpiece of modern Finnish glass art, symbolizing Nyman's poetic approach to the medium. The vase is distinguished by its expertly executed "spike mould" technique, creating thousands of uniform air bubbles within the glass mass that give the object a light, luminous quality. Nyman, considered a pioneer of Finnish glass design, avoided unnecessary ornamentation, allowing the beauty of the piece to emerge from its form and technical perfection. Due to the designer's untimely passing, the production period was short, making all original signed (G. Nyman Nuutajärvi Notsjö) pieces highly valued by collectors. Consequently, this work offers collectors long-term investment value. It is a timeless design classic that unites technical virtuosity with minimalist elegance, making it a worthy addition to any discerning design collection.

Designer Gunnel Nyman - Royal SiO2

Gunnel Nyman


Gunnel Nyman (1909 – 1948). A true pioneer of modern Finnish glass, Gunnel Nyman’s career was tragically short but immensely influential. Originally trained as a furniture designer, she brought a new, lyrical soul to glass art, moving away from heavy engravings toward organic, liquid forms. She was a master of capturing "frozen movement," often using delicate air bubbles and veils of smoke trapped within the glass. Her work is a testament to the ethereal beauty of the material itself, and her sophisticated aesthetic laid the groundwork for the golden age of Scandinavian design.
