Alvar Aalto's work first made me an iittala fan - I remember instantly falling in love with his classic vase when I first saw it as a child at my favorite Aunt's house in Sweden.
Although there's only one Aalto style on sale, go here and check out some awesome Iitala china + glassware.
italian/eastern european glassware is totally worthy of its fame!

Wow, wow, wow! I want and I want NOW!
ReplyDeleteAs a Finn, I have to correct you a bit – it's Iittala with two t's :) As a graphic designer I also love Klaus Haapaniemi's wonderful illustrations.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Scandinavia, love your blog!
Aah, good catch Eija. Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteI love Iittala, being finnish and all ;) I bought plates from the Satumetsä collection after christmas, they are so pretty, looks like something form a Miyazaki movie, http://tinyurl.com/3y5wvoc
