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'
