In conjunction with the centenary of Finland’s independence in 2017, IIttala has created a special edition collection themed around an ultramarine blue colour scheme that is both rich and calming. Befittingly, this unique collection is named the Centenary Collection – The Finland 100 Dove. Designed by celebrated Finnish glass designer Oiva Toikka, the ultramarine blue coloured transparent body is decorated with green, silver and blue-shaded lustre patterns, reminiscent of stones on the shore reflected by the blue sky and water in Finland.
Tranquil and elegant, the design of The Finland 100 Dove reflects the clarity and true warmth of the Finnish national character. Capturing the picturesque natural sceneries of this Nordic nation and translating them into these refined glassworks, the aesthetically striking and emotionally evocative qualities of the collection are best used to pay homage to such a significant and emotionally-charged event such as this. As such, only 2,017 units of these limited edition birds will be made available worldwide for the occasion.
Centenary Collection is available at Iittala.
