Iittala Kartio Glasses

Established in 1881, Iittala is known for creating objects that are thought through in form, function and quality. Objects with a clear thought, created to achieve long lasting everyday use and inspiration. Whether in metal, wood, porcelain or glass, iittala design objects are tools for contemporary living. Iittala continues to be a major driving force of Scandinavian design with legendary designers Kaj Franck (1911-1989) and Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) as the cornerstones for the brand. iittala objects are design essentials stripped to their core; the pure union of function, form and quality that demonstrates the company’s core philosophy of lasting everyday design, against ‘throwawayism’

Alfredo Haberli designed the Essence range in 2001 around an essential idea ‘to have as few glasses as possible, while still being able to serve a full range of fine wine’. An extra tall glass with a funky big foot which makes it a good balance between tradition and modernity. The red wine stands 235mm tall and is dishwasher friendly.

Black is one those colors that always come around, although it never goes out of fashion either. It is particularly popular at the moment and can be found in a lot of retail and restaurants interiors, something that points to it soon making waves in the home as well. Four of the most popular products in Iittala’s Teema range have been singled out for the black treatment: the mug, the bowl, the dish, and the plate. These also feature our inspirational colors as well. A sharp black espresso cup will also be added to the Aika range, as well as black bowls will be launched to the Origo range. The Aalto vase will also look that little bit different when it is hand blown from black glass. Achieving a true black glass has been a challenge for Iittala’s Kartio glass craftsmen, but the result glows with a rich darkness that is completely beguiling.
