A Classic Turns 50


Iittala celebrates the 50th anniversary of the appearance of this lovely tinted glassware by Kaj Franck. Described as “the conscience of Finnish design,” Franck epitomizes Finnish modernism. His clear and softly tinted glasses, pitchers and bowls are sturdy and durable, intended for daily use and designed to last a lifetime. Real beauty, Franck maintained, could only be found in the practicality of use. Available individually and in sets at Zinc Details.
