The Whip-Poor-Will returns to the continuous Birds by Toikka collection, celebrating Oiva Toikka’s imaginative approach to glass art. Mouth-blown and handcrafted at the Iittala Glass Factory in Finland, each bird carries the unique, free-blown character that has defined the collection since it first took flight in 1972. With its graceful form and expressive detailing, the Whip-Poor-Will embodies the rich fusion of glassmaking traditions that Toikka championed throughout his career. A whimsical decorative piece that adds charm and personality to any interior, it is also a meaningful gift — crafted to be cherished for years, and to stand the test of time.
Oiva Toikka (1931-2019) is one of the greatest names in Finnish design. His iconic collection of Birds by Toikka first took flight back in 1972 at the Nuutajärvi glass factory with the creation of his small glass Flycatchers. Since then hundreds of new birds have joined the flock. The collection embodies a rich fusion of glassmaking traditions and would not have been possible without Toikka’s hands-on-approach at the glassworks and his keen understanding of each employee’s skills. Today, each glass bird is handcrafted and mouthblown at the Iittala Glass Factory.

Oiva Toikka (1931-2019) is one of the great personas of Finnish glass design. His imaginative, rich and bold glass art is a departure from mainstream Nordic design. Toikka’s individual style is also evident in the utility objects he creates as they often deviate from the traditional clean-lined puritanism of Finnish design aesthetics. In addition to glass, his artistic activities cover staging, fashion design and plastic interior design elements.
Toikka has designed a range of home products for Iittala with his Annual Cube, Birds by Toikka, Frutta, Flora, Kastehelmi, Oiva Toikka Collection and Tundra Collections.
