The owners of the Gallery are glass artist Marja Hepo-aho and Kari Alakoski, whose 20 year career with Iiittala company has earned him the title of master glassblower.
In the gallery in Helsinki the duo focuses on new Finnish glass. The gallery is famous for its changing exhibitions and the shop offers a selection of art and design glass for everyday use.
