Nanny Still (1926-2009) was a well-known Finnish glass designer. She studied at Finland's Central School of Arts and Crafts and graduated in 1950. She worked as a glass designer for Riihimäki Glassworks, Finland’s largest glassworks at the time, creating a variety of stylish and decorative glass objects.
Nanny Still was a very prolific artist who worked not only with glass but with a variety of different materials – such as ceramics, wood, steel, aluminium – designing different kinds of products such as flatware, jewellery and porcelain. Mango, the cutlery set she designed in 1973, is still today very popular.
Nanny Still mastered almost everything to do with art and industrial design, and was awarded the Pro Finlandia medal in 1972 and the Diploma of Honour at the Triennale in Milan in 1954.
