Iittala Is Spreading Some Holiday Cheer...



I wanted to share a few pieces from Iittala to put you in the holiday state of mind. I adore the deep red, it is absolutely gorgeous! I hope you like it as well.

Iittala was established in 1881 in a small village by the name of Iittala in southern Finland. From the very beginning, Iittala was ahead of its time when it came to design in Finland. The company recruited glassblowers from Sweden, Belgium and Germany to ensure diversity and creativity.
In the early years of modernism and functionalism in the 1920s and 30s, Iittala was among the first companies to make the transition from creating decorative settings and dinner sets to more progressive Scandinavian design. Iittala’s designers included the modernist trailblazers, Kaj Franck, Alvar Aalto and his wife Aino.


Today the task of continuing and refining the tradition in their own individual styles has been handed down to the designers that create for Iittala. The effort put into lasting quality design has paid off, Iittala collections include not only recently launched items but also those that have been around for over 60 years.

For more information on the products seen here please visit the Iittala website or the Iittala web-shop

Enjoy!
