Timeless glassware by Iittala

By Sophie

Iittala_DrinksallWith the oldest designs dating back to the 1930s, Iittala glassware and crystals are timeless pieces for day to day dining, yet will last for years to come. All of the Iittala products are designed to complement each other, regardless of the color and year they were created. Recently, Iittala has brought out a collection by Tapio Wirkkala, a Finnish designer whose eye for the perfect glassware is incomparable. The Ultima Thule collection is inspired by a region in ancient Greece, and illustrates the beauty of an interesting organic crystallization. These pieces range from $28 to $96.

In addition to dinnerware, Iittala also has an extensive collection of artclass. For purchasing information, visit Iittala.com.
