Mindmadeobjects.
Essentially human design. Design is not about surfaces or style. Design is a humanissue. Taking pleasure in everyday life is one of the simple luxuries of being human, so essential design begins with a deep understanding of human needs. Iittala creates adaptable personal belong-ings to be loved and used again and again, day in and day out, for generations.
The oldest Iittala objects date back to the 1930’s, long before Scandinavian design came to the attention of the world. With the thinking of legendary designers Kaj Franck (1911–1989) and Alvar Aalto (1898–1976) at the heart of the brand, Iittala continues to be a major driving force of design.
Iittala objects are mindmade by both designers and craftsmen for diverse individuals and the ever-changing lives they lead. As sensitive and intelligent responses to everyday situations, mindmade objects are design essentials stripped to their core; the pure union of function, form and quality that demon-strates our core philosophy of lasting everyday design against throwawayism.

Quality for life

Revolutionaries come in unexpected forms.
Iittala, the brand that dares to challenge the very human urge to collect and create waste. Whether in metal, wood, porcelain or glass, Iittala design objects are high-quality, combin-able, multi-purpose tools for everyday life, for everyone. Undoubtedly revolutionary back in the days of flowery dinner services, but still just as radical in today’s global culture of disposable mass-consumerism.
Established in 1881, Iittala’s mission has already had its impact. Today, Scandinavian design is highly regarded all over the world. Magazines highlight light, spacious interiors, TV programes teach us how to cut the clutter at home, and natural materials symbolize comfort and well-being. The world is now aware of the value of long lasting essential design. The necessity to consume less and live more.
At Iittala we are quietly proud of our history. We know that the effort that goes into produc-ing quality design pays off in the long-term by improving quality of life for the end user, and raising awareness about lasting everyday design against throwawayism. Essential mindmade objects cut the clutter, but more importantly let us fill everyday life with moments worth remembering.

To become an accomplished master glassblower requires years of apprenticeship and experience in all the many areas of glass craftsmanship.
Mindmade by Iittala. Whether you call it mindmade essentialism or simply good design, you know quality when you see it. It acknowledges the relationship of things in everyday life. It is an exact expression of the material. It isn’t forced. You just recognize it, with your intuition, as well as with your eyes and touch. It’s the combination of pure thought and craftsmanship that we believe holds the key to a positive future.

The depth of Alvar Aalto’s thinking ran beyond any definition of the man as an architect or designer. His philosophy was based on a vision of design that expresses the organic relationship of mankind to his surroundings. He wanted to create harmonious design that was a logical extension of nature, a fusion of everyday life in materialized form.
Shaping the future
One pure line of thought.
The Finnish archipelago is uniquely beautiful. With over 20,000 islands and rocky cliffs, it reflects some of the oldest shapes and colors of the planet created by glaciers up to 2 billion years ago.
Hard to imagine today the waves Alvar Aalto’s vases caused in 1936. They are so eternally contemporary, so at home in today’s world. But when the vase design was presented at the Paris world exhibition in 1937, its mysterious organic form stood in total opposition to the accepted thinking of the time.
To Aalto, industrial production that idealized technology failed to consider the needs of the end user. “If you leave the quality out of the product, the whole exercise is nonsensical in every field,” said Aalto. Design, he felt, is for people not machines, so he looked towards nature for his answer. In nature, essential basic units result in millions of combinations.
Aalto concluded that every design object should be a basic unit cell of everyday life. Every object must, therefore, perfectly fit the task at hand. It must complement everything in our lives and homes, and let the owner decide the use because everyday needs change all the time. The nature of the material must be part of the design. The object must survive daily wear and tear as well as trends – across cultures and generations. In other words, design must make us humans feel at home being human, no matter who we are. A line of thought easy to follow, yet so hard to achieve.

The photographs you see here were taken at the 125-year-old Iittala factory in Finland. From the first thought at the drawing board, to the knowledge of the material of both the designer and the craftsman, it is only genuine teamwork and hands-on collaboration that results in an Iittala design object as faithful to the essential design idea as the Aalto vase.
Alvar Aalto CollectionSince 1936
Choreography of a vase. 2006 is the 70-year anniversary of the Aalto
vase that turned the unpredictable nature of mouth blown glass into an eternally contempo-rary design feature. Mouth blown glass naturally varies in thickness, making each and every vase completely unique and individual.
The Alvar Aalto Collection launches new inter-pretations of the original Aalto designs true to the original design concept. A special petrol blue anniversary vase celebrates 70 years of humanism in design with a highly popular color that will be available for just one year. In addi-tion, a steel bowl, duo-colored vases, and new flaming red vases bring the eternally classic shape to the contemporary scene. Other addi-tions to the collection are interpretations of the shape in new materials created by designers inspired by Alvar Aalto.

Variations on a theme. No one really knows what specifically inspired Aalto to dream up the flowing form of the iconic vase. He playfully named his first sketch Eskimoerindens skinn-buxa, Eskimo-Woman’s Leather trousers, but as his father was a cartographer, Aalto might really have been inspired by the lakes and coastline of his native Finland. Whatever any of us may see in the evocative shape, all the new shapes and colors in the Alvar Aalto Collection are true to the original shape and design idea.
In the thirties, the vase let flowers be arranged in unusual, and more individual ways, but it also made a courageous statement that indus-trialization was in danger of alienating the indi-vidual in society. In the 21st century, the eternal form continues to provoke attention by letting the owner decide its use and complementing our busy lives with a touch of nature. Most importantly, however, it represents an entire design philosophy that shows how industrial production can create high quality design that improves everyday life.
Look back to see the future. Over 50 years ago Kaj Franck defined successful design with his question: “Is not the ultimate meaning of beauty to be essential, functional, justified, and correct?” Design, he felt, is far more than a question of beauty. It is about life. And life, said Franck, consists mostly of everyday events. So ensuring that everyday objects are universally relevant is one of the most important design challenges there is. At Iittala we all agree: no person should ever be stereotyped or alienated by technology or mass production. Well thought-out crafted objects must fulfil our varied individual needs, so that we are free to own only the essential, and not add to the mountains of consumer waste.
The system of values created by Aalto and Franck lives on today through our designers who strive to create these affordable and meaningful design solutions. Designers who measure their achievements by quality, rather than lime-light. Designers driven by an unwavering vision of the future as a better place for every human being. Designers who strive to shape the world with lasting everyday design against throwawayism.

Lasting everyday design against throwawayismKaj Franck
Kaj Franck’s thinking continues to teach us to value the quality of the everyday life experience above owning a vast amount of useless personal belongings.

Remember yesterday, live today, design tomorrow.
Blow up your tableware! Kaj Franck’s idea was to replace all unused and over-decorated dinner services with a few carefully thought-out items. If each piece is essential, he thought, it is also timeless, multi-functional and personally adaptable, so that consuming less can actually mean living more. And he was right, all those years ago. Teema is honored today in design museums around the world as the original unconventional tableware. Pure combinability that lets you live every day as you imagine.
17
TeemaKaj Franck 1952
Based on a circle, square, rectangle, and strong colors, Teema is a range of combinable prod-ucts that serves every need, whether storage, preparing, serving, eating, or decorating. Continuously changing colors complement the classic color range. And Teema is ready for an active modern life – all pieces are safe to use in an oven, dishwasher, microwave or freezer and are multi-functional anywhere in the home. Life may change, but Teema stays; all parts are well thought through to fulfil every type of modern dining need.

Endless possibilities. Like Kaj Franck’sTeema, all Iittala objects are designed to becombined. Designed for the changing needsof modern everyday life, and designed for theendless possibilities life has to offer. Franck’sidea of stripping design back to basics to fitevery individual’s needs is as relevant todayas it ever was. And as human beings living inconstant change, the smallest possibility cantransform us at any time. Today, it isn’t limita-tions that define who we are, but how we adaptthe world to turn everyday life into our ownpersonal adventure.

Origo took the design world by storm. If there is tableware that maps out modern eating at the turn of the millennium, this is it. Its lasting appeal, however, is the unlimited combinability of the cups, bowls and plates that makes it easy to use any piece with all kinds of foods and tableware such as Teema. New color series continually reinvent the original series. The latest additions to the bold color range are browns and beiges. And just one piece can brighten up any home. As easy to use as it is to find a personal favorite.

The clarity of Kaj Franck’s philosophy in physical form. Each Kartio glass is form pressed into one perfectly seamless piece, and translated into a range of classic shades that express the quality of the material.
23
This glass needs little introduction. If you think you recognize it, it’s because you do. Kartio is the archetypal image of a glass. Yet attempts to copy Kaj Franck’s classic glasses and decanter fail because they do not acknowledge the effort needed to balance the material with strong geometric forms and color.
Durable enough for everyday use, the Kartio range features glasses, carafes and bowls all in several pure glass shades. And Kartio is balanced to the millimetre. The simple shapes fit beautifully with Teema, but as classic water glasses they complement any table setting with timeless elegance.

A natural selection. As functionality finds itsform in nature, modern dining has found itsnatural solution with Iittala’s family of cutlery.Mango can be complemented by Iittala’sCollective Tools serving range, but the clean linesbring pure sophistication to any table setting.
The personal inspiration for Nanny Still’s Mangocutlery set was her first sight of a mango inIndia back in the 1970s. The soft, round designin matt-brushed stainless steel echoes thefruit’s smooth, simple structure, translated intoattractive forms that perfectly fit the hand.
For full Mango and Citterio rangessee Product Index section at back.
The evolution of an idea. Citterio 98 is alreadya contemporary classic. Dining is a kind ofcommunication, an opportunity to exchangeideas. And it is this insight that has evolved thegenerous proportions of traditional Europeanrestaurant cutlery into a highly individual designcreated for lifetimes of formal and everyday use.

Jewel Purpose.
Kivi means stone in Finnish. Jewels might be nothing more than colored stones, but the real treasure of Kivi is its inherent quality and its range of collectable colors. Singularly or in a group, Kivi’s intense colors transform any interior with tiny flickering jewels of light. The thickness of the glass multiplies the flame, a dual purpose of sensory pleasure and delicate light that is so treasured during long, cold northern winters.

A few degrees north.
Nordic generosity is an unspoken consideration for the other, the Nordic way that manifests itself in unpretentious design. And design really should be something you don’t think about, as it fits so perfectly with our changing needs, as unimposing extensions of our daily lives.
HotCool represents the degrees of thought that takes the end user into account. Simple and understated, HotCool is tough glassware with high quality insulating plastic jackets in changing seasonal colors for handling very hot or very cold drinks. One glass for every drink, and every moment, hot or cool.

Ego’s strikingly original design combines a modern dynamic with an age-old tradition – coffee. The cups are designed for every type of coffee drink. The saucers have no rim so they can be used as plates, and the generous size of the handle fits the largest hands. Make no mistake, the distinctive handle rests inside the plate, not on the table, making Ego a pleasure to use with its well-proportioned sense of confidence.

LanternHarri Koskinen 1999
As Harri Koskinen himself describes, Lantern is “light placed upon a pedestal.” Lantern’s candle appears to be gently hovering within its clear lines of mouth blown glass, producing a seductive and subtle atmosphere. The large lantern stands ceremoniously on the floor, in or outdoors, and the smaller candleholders inspire conversation at the most somber gathering.

The truest tall stories.
EssenceAlfredo Häberli 2001
Radically simple, Häberli designed a series of glassware around an essential idea: to have as few glasses as possible, while still being able to serve a full range of fine wines. Häberli’s family background in the hotel and restaurant busi-ness has allowed him to integrate an in-depth knowledge of wine with his own vision of wine appreciation. Wine glasses that focus on the seductive power of wine.
The extra tall glasses vary in size, but they all rise confidently out of equally sized flat-bottomed plates in a demonstration of thoughtful design. Together the glasses stand tall, and serenely balanced.
The essence of life is finding things that make the everyday experience worthwhile. Something Häberli has long contemplated. Essence has found the essential meeting points of tradition and modernity, celebration and everyday use.

TrisAlfredo Häberli 2005
Tris is named after its bold, triangular design. The different depths of glass offer soft light in its most seductive form, rich in color and variation. Tris comes in six vibrant colors: red, yellow, rose-olive, green, sea-blue, and grey. The pieces are stackable, offering easy storage and arrangements, and the large size makes it easy to light the candle. A series of serious candleholders that sculpt light into a gentle and intimate atmosphere.

47
Senta Alfredo Häberli 2004
The delicate stems of the Senta glasses narrow slightly just under the bowl of the glass; a tender thought from the designer. The edges of the flat foot are cut in at an angle towards the base, and the entire form releases a playful optical effect of light and shadow.
Senta’s sensual lines are relaxed yet sophisti-cated at the most formal occasion, and robust enough for daily use. The range consists of three essential sizes, for white wine, red wine and champagne. Combine with the classic Kartio or Aino Aalto glasses.
A personal matter.

A moment stretched and remembered. Tapio Wirkkala (1915–1985) is known as the versatile master of Finnish design. With his signature Tapio series, Wirkkala’s master technique cap-tures a bubble in every glass, a small reminder to enjoy the fleeting moment. Only an in-depth knowledge of the material and sensitivity to the meaning of an object can produce such a thought. Just as Tapio is his first name – the glass bubble has become his personal signature of sensitivity to the art of glassmaking.

It seems no coincidence that Aalto means wave in Finnish. Aino Aalto (1894–1949) also caused waves with her glassware collection that beat her husband’s entry in an Iittala-Karhula design competition in Finland and went on to win the gold prize at the Milan Triennale in 1936.
Aino AaltoAino Aalto 1932
In the 1930’s there were a lot of cheerfully use-less objects floating around. Dinner services were vast and ornate, and kept in cupboards most of the year. Aino Aalto’s radically simple design seemed as if it had arrived from the future. Not only did she use glass, but she also cleverly maximised the advantages of pressed-glass mass production techniques to create decoration out of the form and the material. An eloquent thought that explained how a more human and harmonious form of mass production could make design masterpieces available for everyone.

Radically natural. Aino Aalto’s namesake glassware is as light as air, reflecting the purity of water. Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it. Proven by the fact that Aino Aalto glassware continues to grace tables around the world to this day after over seventy years of production. Iittala’s oldest product and epitome of mindmade design.

Ultima ThuleTapio Wirkkala 1969
Wirkkala was inspired by the northern climate of his homeland. Legend has it that Ultima Thule was a far northern island buried in ice and snow, where the sun never set. Two thousand years ago, the ancient Greeks thought it was the edge of the World.
Ultima Thule also has a deeper meaning; the extreme limits and capabilities of humankind, the ability to achieve the unattainable. And it was determined and continued experimenta-tion with glassblowing techniques that created Ultima Thule’s unusual organic effect. The form gradually changes as molten glass burns the surface of the wooden moulds, crystallizing a particularly Finnish expression of glass in an eternal design classic.

The enamelled Sarpaneva pot transforms the universally traditional cast iron cooking pot into a timeless design piece. Celebrating the contrasts of natural materials, the detachable wooden handle is used to lift the lid and the pot. Needless to say, Sarpaneva is as beautiful on the dinner table as it is functional in the kitchen. A must-have piece for any design lover, on any continent.

Lyrical creatures. Mankind’s stubborn joy in artistic expression always finds a way, and a material. It is Oiva Toikka’s seemingly endless imagination and knowledge of glass that have, over the last 30 years, created this unique collection of highly individual birds that is sought by collectors all over the world. Toikka is one of the great names in Finnish design. He has dreamt up each bird to be truly indi-vidual and unlike another. Just like the people who love them.

Birds by ToikkaOiva Toikka 1973
Oiva Toikka’s birds are more than a collection of artefacts, they are a collection of stories. The shape of some birds are inspired by nature, others are created in the mind of the artist. Every bird has its own character and tells a different story. Finding the character and expressing it in glass is the heart of the idea of the Birds collection. Toikka’s apparently limitless imagina-tion, combined with a sophisticated knowledge of glass, has made it possible for him and his glass blowers to create small miracles of life.
Small miracles.

His work includes Winged Victory (1996), a sculpture for Swatch’s pavilion during the Olympics in Atlanta, as well as Freedom of Speech, a sculpture exhibition at the Finnish Embassy in Washington D.C.
Kerttu Nurminen. Born in Lahti, Finland, in 1943. Nurminen has worked for over 20 years in the Nuutajärvi glass factory. She has just celebrated 30 years as an artist and is known for making unique glass designs in addition to functional objects. Being very familiar with glass-making techniques, she has also been involved in generating new ones. Her work is presented in numerous museums and collections around the world. Kerttu Nurminen was awarded the Kaj Franck prize in 1996.
Professor Heikki Orvola. Born in Helsinki, Finland, in 1943. Heikki Orvola is one of the driving forces within Finnish design. He works in glass, ceramics, metal and textiles. Orvola has worked for the industrial art business, but he has also worked in a variety of different materials as a form of pure, artistic expression. During his career as a designer, Heikki Orvola has received awards and prizes, including the Kaj Franck prize in 1998 – perhaps Finland’s most important design prize.
Nanny Still. Born in Finland. Nanny Still is, with her wide range of products, one of Finland’s most colorful designers. She works with the same clear elegance in a variety of different materials: metal, glass and ceramics. She has mastered almost everything to do with art and industrial design, and was awarded the Pro Finlandia medal in 1972 and the Diploma of Honour at the Triennale in Milan in 1954.
Professor Oiva Toikka. Born in 1931 in Viipuri, Finland. Oiva Toikka is one of the greatest names in Finnish glass. His imaginative, rich and bold glass art deviates from the streamlined aesthetic of Nordic design. He has worked in the performing arts for as long as he has in glass. The Birds collection is Toikka’s best-known work. He has enjoyed an international career and received numerous awards, among them Lunning Prize, Pro Finlandia Medal, World Glass Now 85 Award, Kaj Franck Design Prize and the Prince Eugen Medal.
Tapio Wirkkala (1915–1985). Born in Hanko, Finland. Tapio Wirkkala is known as the versatile genius of design. His contribution to design includes everything from glass products to the design of banknotes and graphic art. During his career, Wirkkala has participated in many international exhibitions, as well as being the artistic director of the University of Arts and Design in Helsinki for many years. He has won a large number of awards, including three gold medals at the Triennale in Milan in 1951, followed by another three in 1954.
Aino Aalto (1894–1949). It was in 1924 that Aino Marsio went to work at architect Alvar Aalto’s office. The two fell in love, married and began a long partnership. In 1932, Alvar Aalto, was beaten by his wife in a design competition. The winning entry, “Aino Aalto”, also won a gold medal at the Milan Triennale. These and other items of glassware designed by Aino Aalto are made for everyday use. Their simple and yet timeless design continues to be part of our life 70 years on.
Alvar Aalto (1898–1976). Born in Kuortane, Finland. Thanks to his original style and unique talents, Alvar Aalto is one of the greatest names in modern architecture and design. During his career, he designed many buildings in different parts of the world: concert halls, libraries, hospitals, museums, and private homes, including the Villa Mairea. His furniture and lamps, often starting out as a part of the buildings he designed, are produced together with Finnish Artek.
Antonio Citterio. Born in Meda, Italy, in 1950. He has carried out a range of eye-catching design and architec-ture commissions for companies like B&B Italia, Kartell and Vitra.
Björn Dahlström. Born in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1957. Björn Dahlström works both two and three-dimensionally. His work includes highly regarded furniture for Cbi, as well as industrial design products for Atlas Copco, among others. Dahlström works in Stockholm and has, over the years, established himself internationally. In 2001, he was awarded the Torsten and Wanja Söderberg design prize, one of the most prestigious Nordic design prizes.
Dog design is a graphic design agency founded by three graphic designers, Eeva Sivula, Ilona Ilottu and Petri Salmela. Their work includes corporate identity design, typography, book and magazine design, posters, exhibition design and stamps, but extends to graphic design as an integrated product and interior design element. Dog design has received important awards every year since its start in 1998.
Kaj Franck (1911–1989). Born in Viipuri, Finland. Kaj Franck is described as the conscience of Finnish design. He removed everything excessive in his designs, leaving only the essentials. Kaj Franck has been awarded a large number of Finnish and international awards and prizes, among them, the Compasso d’Oro award, and the Milan award in 1957. His work has been displayed at design museums around the world. Some of his most famous objects are the Teema table-ware and the glass series Kartio.
Laura Partanen & Arto Kankkunen. Laura Partanen, born in 1972, and Arto Kankkunen born in 1965, belong to a new generation of young Finnish designers. They share a design philosophy strongly connected to everything that characterizes Iittala. Their work was shown at Young Forum 2000 – an exhibition arranged by Design Forum in Helsinki.
Pentagon Design is an industrial design agency founded in 1996 in Helsinki by Arni Aromaa and Sauli Suomela. The agency focuses on consumer products and services, combining rationality with passion. Recent projects include the Hot & Cool sauna concept, which won the first prize in the Intelligent Furniture – Intelligent Space competition, and the sauna product range for Orthex that recently won the Red Dot award.
Renzo Piano. Born in Genoa, Italy, in 1937. After a number of large, eye-catching projects like the Centre Pompidou in Paris, San Nicaola Stadium in Bari and Kansai International Airport in Osaka, Renzo Piano has become one of the most important architects of the 20th century. He is responsible for the main layout of the Potsdamer Platz and eight of its buildings in Berlin. Over the years, he has received a range of prestigious prizes and awards: the Compasso d’Oro, the Pritzker Prize, the Erasmus and Kyoto awards, to name a few.
Professor Timo Sarpaneva. Born in 1926 in Helsinki. Sarpaneva is one of the great personalities responsible for the world reputation of Finnish design since the 1950’s. He is a master of materials as glass, porcelain, cast iron and textile as well as graphic art. Timo Sarpaneva designed the current Iittala symbol (logo) for his glass collection called I-line (I-linja) in 1956, for which he received one of his Grand Prix in Milan the following year. He has been honoured with innumerable awards and acknowledgements. Sarpaneva is Doctor HC of the Royal College of Art in London and the University of Art and Design in Helsinki and Academician HC of the University of Mexico. His work can be seen in art and design museums throughout the world.
Carina Seth-Andersson. Born in 1965 in Stockholm, Sweden. In recent years, her work has been displayed at a variety of international exhibitions. Her pieces are part of the permanent collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. In 1994, Carina Seth-Andersson was chosen to represent Sweden at the Triennale in Milan. In 1998, she designed a glass object for the collection Quite Simply, as part of the Cultural Capital City project.
