Laura Laine: a star of glass is born

Finland has some amazing glass artists known all over the world. For example Kerttu Nurminen, Markku Salo and Oiva Toikka.

Now you can add a new name to that list: Laura Laine.

Until now Laura, Young Designer of the Year in 2011, has been well-known as a fashion and commercial illustrator for the Finnish magazines and international clients like Vogue, Sephora, Elle, Zara, H&M, GAP, The New York Times, The New Yorker and The Guardian.

The Wet Collection, Laura´s first unique adventure in the deep sea life translated into the world of glass, is now open at the Design Museum Helsinki. 

Go there and have a swim in the sea of fantasy and surreal beauty only a real artist can create.
