Mindmade objects. Essentially human design. Design is not about surfaces or style. Design is a human issue. 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 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.

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. Revolutionaries come in unexpected forms.

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.

4 5 To become an accomplished master glassblower requires years of apprenticeship and experience in all the many areas of glass craftsmanship.

6 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. Shaping the future

One pure line of thought.

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.

8 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. Photo by Sääski (Museum of Finnish Architecture) 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. Alvar Aalto Collection Since 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.

The photographs you see here were taken at the 125- year-old Iittala factory in . 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. 10 Petrol blue 160 mm White-brown 160 mm Stainless steel bowl 504 mm Green 1937 200 mm White-green 160 mm White-dark blue 160 mm Green 1937 bowl 50 x 195 mm White-red 160 mm Petrol blue 120 mm Blueberry blue 251 mm Brown 160 mm Clear bowl 50 x 195 mm White 160 mm Clear 251 mm Flaming red 251 mm Flaming red 201 mm White-blue 160 mm Wooden moulds are still in use today to form the mysterious organic shape.

11 12 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.

13 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 throwawayism Kaj 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.

15 Remember yesterday, live today, design tomorrow.

Blow up your ! 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.

Endless possibilities. Like Kaj Franck’s Teema, all Iittala objects are designed to be combined. Designed for the changing needs of modern everyday life, and designed for the endless possibilities life has to offer. Franck’s idea of stripping design back to basics to fit every individual’s needs is as relevant today as it ever was. And as human beings living in constant change, the smallest possibility can transform us at any time. Today, it isn’t limita- tions that define who we are, but how we adapt the world to turn everyday life into our own personal adventure. Origo Alfredo Häberli 1999

Color between the lines.

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.

22 Kartio Kaj Franck 1958

Simplicity seems obvious, that’s its genius.

Tumbler light blue 21 cl This glass needs little introduction. If you think Tumbler grey 21 cl you recognize it, it’s because you do. Kartio is Pitcher clear 95 cl the archetypal image of a glass. Yet attempts to Tumbler sea blue 21 cl copy Kaj Franck’s classic and decanter Tumbler clear 40 cl fail because they do not acknowledge the effort Tumbler moss green 21 cl needed to balance the material with strong Tumbler blueberry blue 21 cl 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.

Mango can be complemented by Iittala’s Collective Tools serving range, but the clean lines bring pure sophistication to any table setting.

The personal inspiration for Nanny Still’s Mango cutlery set was her first sight of a mango in India back in the 1970s. The soft, round design in matt-brushed stainless steel echoes the fruit’s smooth, simple structure, translated into attractive forms that perfectly fit the hand.

The evolution of an idea. Citterio 98 is already a contemporary classic. Dining is a kind of communication, an opportunity to exchange ideas. And it is this insight that has evolved the generous proportions of traditional European restaurant cutlery into a highly individual design created for lifetimes of formal and everyday use.

24 25 Jars Pentagon Design 2005

Life in glass towers.

Modern life in functional spaces. Iittala’s high quality glass jars turn the eternal problem of storage into decoration. These basic pieces come in three sizes and colors, each with a transparent, plastic lid. They will continue to reinvent themselves in your kitchen or wherever else you choose to use them, whatever you decide to put inside them. Cool and contem- porary organization and storage, and beautiful photographic glimpses of your everyday life in perpetual change.

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.

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.

34 35 Lantern Harri Koskinen 1999

Illuminating sculpture.

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.

38 As large as life. A good meal doubles in size when shared, and Björn Dahlström has thoughtfully created this set of kitchenware for the modern lover of design – and dining. Simply perfect in functionality, and perfectly simple in appearance, Tools should be taken straight from the kitchen to the table. Larger than life dining tools for larger than life people.

39 Tools Björn Dahlström 1998

Insatiable appetites.

Tools are highly evolved kitchenware. Insightful features have gained the stamp of approval from the professional chefs and material specialists who collaborated in their creation. A high degree of technological knowledge has been applied to keep the food evenly warm; each piece is made from the material most appropriate for its function and conducting heat. In addition, Tools are oversized in all dimen- sions, heavy yet easy to handle, for entertaining or everyday use. Beautiful, contemporary design that embodies hospitality in its physical form.

Essence Alfredo Häberli 2001

The truest tall stories.

Champagne 21 cl Radically simple, Häberli designed a series of White wine 33 cl glassware around an essential idea: to have as Red wine 45 cl 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.

42 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. Tris Alfredo Häberli 2005

Cutting the edge of light.

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.

46 Senta Alfredo Häberli 2004

A personal matter.

Champagne 21 cl The delicate stems of the Senta glasses narrow Red wine 38 cl slightly just under the bowl of the glass; a White wine 29 cl 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.

Goblet 30 cl A moment stretched and remembered. Tapio Red wine 25 cl Wirkkala (1915–1985) is known as the versatile White wine 18 cl 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.

Beer 38 cl Contemporary normal. Artist and glass Champagne 18 cl designer Göran Hongell (1902–1973) was one Red wine 25 cl of the pioneers of the Finnish glass tradition. The series, Aarne, became his most famous creation. The mouth-blown glassware service set a trend for minimalist glass design in the 1950’s that continues up to the present day. An essential design classic with an eternally cool personality.

54 Aino Aalto Aino Aalto 1932

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. Echoes of a wave.

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.

Two sizes of drinking glasses are available in a range of natural tones; clear, light blue, sea blue, blueberry blue, grey and moss green.

55 56 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.

57 Panny Nanny Still 1997

Grill pan 26 cm Invisible talents. Panny is the light heavy- weight range of cooking pans with design details that are designed to not be noticed; natural to use features that reveal themselves through use. An extra lip-shaped handle made from heat resistant bakelite and double pouring lips offer easy handling. All the essential features of a cast iron pan and more, at only a third of the weight.

Multi-functional bowls that add a contemporary accent to any living space. The beautifully simple form of the Seth-Andersson steel bowls leave everything to the imagination. Designed for you to use them as you choose.

59 Ultima Thule Tapio Wirkkala 1969

Red wine 23 cl Wirkkala was inspired by the northern climate d.o.f. 28 cl of his homeland. Legend has it that Ultima Thule Cordial 5 cl was a far northern island buried in ice and snow, where the sun never set. Two thousand Ultima Thule comes as glasses, serving bowls, a serving platter years ago, the ancient Greeks thought it was and a pitcher. 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.

60 61 62 Sarpaneva Timo Sarpaneva 1960

Eternal everyday alchemy.

It was a personal connection that inspired Sarpaneva to interpret the ancient cast-iron pot. His grandfather was a blacksmith. 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.

65 Lyrical creatures. Mankind’s stubborn joy in artistic expression always finds a way, and a material. It is ’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.

These small precious glassbirds are all handcrafted to be totally unique and unlike any other.

67 Birds by Toikka Oiva Toikka 1973

Small miracles.

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.

69 70 The material shape of nature. Human beings may have constructed a complex world in which to live and move, but we are all still essentially creatures of nature. We are made up of the same matter. There are only so many actions we can perform in a day. Only so many desires and emotions. It’s the combination of these elements that creates infinite variety.

Iittala’s mindmade objects are inspired by nature’s own perfect systems of functionality. By eliminating all unnecessary complexity, these objects exist in harmony with the intuitive spontaneity of human nature. And like nature itself, the Iittala range is in constant evolution.

Each new piece is part of the entire system, complementing existing objects and the ones that will follow. Together they form a dynamic toolbox of essential possessions carefully designed to help us humans navigate the intricate patterns of everyday life.
