One of the greats in Finnish design, Kaj Franck was a man of practicality: His designs are multi-functional and suitable for everyday as well as for festive occasions. There is no need for many items, when same dishes can be used in variety of ways.
'Highly versatile with endless combinations. The smallest details ensure each dish is perfect for use.'
The simple but distinctive form of the Scandia cutlery has been a familiar sight since 1952, when Kaj Franck designed the series with everyday needs in mind. Today, Scandia is a classic that is suited to modern and traditional table settings. Scandia is now re-launched as a part of Iittala’s Kaj Franck collection with improved bigger size to meet todays’s eating habits.
In one of this purest realisations, Kartio glass, Franck captures the perfect balance between the material and the geometric form. Simple, yet durable enough for everyday use, Franck mastered the creation of the basic drinking glass, which is a legendary design beyond any trend.
The wide and versatile colour palette of Kartio represents Iittala’s knowledge of coloured glass perfectly.
