Iittala’s Kartio pitcher is part of the eponymous glassware collection designed by Kaj Franck. Kartio’s unique character comes from the living spirit that Franck has managed to add to the rational, clean geometry. The Kartio collection is a fine example of Finnish glass design: its simple practicality suits the needs of everyday life, and its refined elegance complements also festive settings. The glass pitcher, along with the entire Kartio collection, is a Nordic design classic that stands the test of time and use.
