Christmas magic from Iittala

A sense of mystery and expectation forms an inseparable part of the lead-up to Christmas. No one can be completely sure when Santa´s little helpers will come to see whether you are behaving yourself and really deserve your presents. Iittala has some good news here, as the Group´s range includes a number of gift choices that are sure to keep even the most demanding elf happy, and are ideal for helping create a captivating Christmas mood. This year, Iittala will offer a number of Teema products in red and a range of products specially decorated with Klaus Haapaniemi´s Taika design.

People have been asking to see red added to Kaj Franck´s Teema range for a long time, and this year a plate, a small and a large bowl, and a mug will be launched in red. In line with Iittala´s mix and match philosophy, these will be an ideal complement for other products, including the intricate design of the Taika range launched this spring. Teema in red is sure to be a hit on people´s Christmas shopping lists and Christmas table settings.

Classic Christmas colours
Colours come and go with today´s trends, but red and green continue to be Christmas classics, along with white, of course, with its associations with snow, ice, and angels.

Reflecting this, the Aalto range will see the addition this Christmas of a white and moss green 181 mm vase. Based on the form Alvar Aalto created in his ‘An Eskimo woman´s leather trousers´ sketches in 1936, the Aalto vase is both a highly refined objet d´art and a very practical design that sets off all types of flowers.

Red is also featured in various seasonal products. The Origo range will again be available in red, as will Jars products with red lids. A special gift pack of four items from the Tools cookware range will also be available.

A gift for every occasion
Iittala always makes an excellent gift choice at Christmas, whether you are looking for something small or more eye-catching. Iittala has something for everyone, from design icons to very functional items for the kitchen and living room, and decorative pieces that add a special something to any setting. All items are easy to combine, to create something unique and personal. So why not take advantage of Iittala´s mix and match philosophy this Christmas and conjure up some Iittala magic of your own?

Iittala´s Christmas products this year will also include a special range from illustrator and artist, Klaus Haapaniemi, featuring his Taika design - only available in the Branded Additionals collection at Iittala stores. This will include a small mug decorated with an enigmatic owl figure, ideal for the Christmas tree, for example. The owl and a red-tail fox will also feature on a magic glass ball.
