Nanny Still was born in Helsinki in 1926 and came of age after the second world war as an important contributor to the then-new Scandinavian design school - combining function and aesthetics - that was developing at the time. She attended the Central School of Arts and Crafts in Helsinki (1945-49) and then started working for Riihimäki Glass Works (Riihimäen Lasitehdas) in 1949. She also won numerous prizes for her work including the Milan Triennial in 1954 and the Pro Finlandia prize in 1972.
Nanny Still is well known for her contributions to the field of handcrafted studio glass. Throughout her career, she worked for numerous companies - the most significant being Riihimäki Glass Works, Val Saint-Lambert, Heinrich Porzellan, and Rosenthal Studio-Linie.
