So much Sarpaneva

Since I mentioned Timo Sarpaneva in yesterday's post, I thought you might like to see a veritable treasure trove of his work that I ran across recently while researching another topic. Oh, how I love serendipitous discoveries like this!

We've had our share of Festivo over the years, but Freeforms has a outstanding variety of pieces from which to choose, each lovely in its own right. I can't imagine having this much of Sarpaneva's work in the store at one time.
