Gunnel Nyman – Eternal Beauty in Glass

We are delighted to present a collection of Gunnel Nyman’s glass artworks. She is one of the most significant and influential innovators in Finnish glass art, whose groundbreaking work during the 1930s and 1940s shaped the expression of modern Finnish glass design.

Nyman introduced a sculptural approach to glass design, where glass is not merely a functional object but an independent artistic expression. Her softly shaped and organically formed works capture light and mass in a way that was entirely new at the time and remains impressive today. Without formal training in glassmaking, Nyman became an internationally acclaimed artist, and her work laid the foundation for the later international success of Finnish art glass. Her glass art represents artistic courage, refined material sensitivity, and an admirable combination of timeless beauty. This collection offers a unique opportunity to experience Gunnel Nyman’s pioneering glass art up close and witness her visionary craftsmanship.
