Pertti Santalahti, a Finnish glass artist, shaped 1960s design with his Kivi series for Humppila.

The series features clean lines and geometric shapes that reflect Santalahti's minimalist approach. Kivi, Finnish for "stone", gives the glass objects an organic aesthetic. Santalahti used traditional glass blowing techniques to create unique textures and effects.

The Kivi series remains a timeless example of Finnish glass design, combining functionality and artistic design. Santalahti's contribution to the Humppila glass factory has cemented his place in the history of Nordic glass design.
