Arabia enamel - designer?
Hi
Anyone know who designed this range of Arabia enamelled ware? I guess either Kaj Franck or Antti Nurmesniemi (if i spelt that right its a miracle)
I found a page with a bunch o...
I found a page with a bunch of the percolator coffee pots by Nurmesniemi and one of your pots right after. It doesn't say it's by Nurmesniemi but it looks very similar in style to the coffee pots. The lid shape does, anyway.
There's also a bunch of the pots on Ebay, attributed to Nurmesniemi.
Unfortunately it....
...is wrong. The designer that did most of the enameled Finel line, and in this case the pot you are showing is Heikki Mallet.Anti Nurmesniemi did the coffeepot and Kaj Franck a number of pieces of which the bowls are best known.
I beg to differ
I agree with you over Franck's enamel bowls and Nurmesniemi's coffee pot but I do believe Nurmesniemi designed the pots as well. Did Heikki Mallet (spelled incorrectly?) work for Arabia or Finel? There is nothing on Google or my books on him.

I stand corrected
You can always learn something new. I checked the book Konsthantverk i Finland 1875-1975, mentioned on the Designed for Finland site, and it is Seppo Mallat who designed the pots for Wärtsilä. You can find some extra info on Google.
