Iittala Essence

Red wine glass 45 cl linen 2-pack

Available in July 2026

Season's edition: available for a limited time only

A favourite glass for favourite wines for 25 years. For the autumn/winter 2026, the Essence collection celebrates its anniversary in a seasonal Linen shade. The refined earthy colour brings soft contrast to the deep ruby and warm garnet hues of red wine while adding elegance to candlelit dinners and the darkening evenings of autumn shared over a bottle worth savouring. Designed by Alfredo Häberli, the award-winning Essence glass is modern and beautifully balanced with a remarkably thin lip that makes every sip feel smooth and refined.

Essence

In 2001, Alfredo Häberli designed Essence with the radically simple idea to create a series that had as few glasses as possible while still being able to serve a full range of fine wines. Believing that simple forms enhance the enjoyment of wine, Essence glassware is modern and minimal with a thin lip for sipping which is rare in lead-free glass. The stems and bases are identical which express a remarkable sense of balance when the glassware is placed side by side. Sensually pleasing to grasp and handle, Essence makes fine wines even more enjoyable. Essence is among the most highly acclaimed glassware in the world, and won the iF Award and Les Découvertes Award.
