Alain Le Foll, born on 4 July 1934 in Gesnes (Mayenne) and died on 22 June 1981 in Châtenay-Malabry1 (Hauts-de-Seine), was a French illustrator, painter and lithographer. Biography After studying at the Beaux-Arts in Caen and then at the Académie Julian in Paris, he worked in the fields of press design, advertising design, children's book illustration, design and lithography.
From 1962, he collaborated with the Rosenthal factory, a German porcelain manufacturer, and also with the Zuber factory in Alsace in the production of wallpaper. From 1964 to 1981, he was a professor at the Ensad, the National School of Decorative Arts.Tapio Wirkkala (* 2 June 1915 in Hanko; † 19 May 1985 in Helsinki) was a Finnish graphic artist, interior architect and designer.
Wirkkala graduated from the University of Art and Design in Helsinki.
He worked with Raymond Loewy in New York.
From 1952 Wirkkala worked for the Finnish glass factory Iittala, which became internationally famous thanks to Wirkkala's designs and especially those of Alvar Aalto. Wirkkala's most famous designs include the Tapio drinking glass series and his leaf-shaped wooden bowls, the so-called Leaf Dishes from the 1950s.
He started working for Rosenthal in 1957. His porcelain, glass and cutlery designs include Century, Composition, Kurve, Polygon, Taille and Variation. The Century service was included in the permanent collection of contemporary design at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, while Variation is now in the collection of the MoMa in New York. In 1964 his work was included in the industrial design section of documenta III in Kassel. In 1968 Wirkkala was awarded the Medaglia d'Oro for the Rosenthal Rotunda porcelain. In 1972 he was awarded the Finnish Academy of Arts (Taiteen akateemikko).
Tapio Wirkkala was married to the artist Rut Bryk (daughter of the artist and entomologist Felix Bryk). The Tapio Wirkkala Rut Bryk Foundation in Helsinki commemorates the work of both artists, whose daughter Maaria Wirkkala is also an internationally successful artist.

Large Platter by Birger Kaipiainen for Rörstrand in Limited Edition 294/500

Highlights of iridescent glaze. The platter is in mint condition. No sign of use.
