Toikka has also enjoyed success in a number of other creative 
outlets. He has worked as a stage and costume designer, 
generally working with Finnish director Lisbeth Landefort 
although in recent years, he has also been associated with 
productions by the Finnish National Opera. Through the years, 
he has also contributed textile designs to the Marimekko 
collections from time to time.
Jack Dawson, who has studied Toikka's work tends to view it 
within the context of general trends in glass design as 
opposed to a strictly Nordic sensibility. Toikka himself has 
sought to look beyond his own era and has instead harkened 
back to an earlier aesthetic. When asked to define his work, 
Toikka has said: ”Baroque is exactly the right word to 
describe my work – after all, one of the word’s original 
meanings is ”an irregular pearl."
