Miranda bowl 145 mm

Invite nature in with Iittala’s relaunch of Finnish designer Heikki Orvola’s Miranda collection. Originally created in 1971, the nature-inspired pattern, which resembles leaves drawn in four different directions, was specifically created to reflect light beautifully. For the collection’s renewal, Orvola re-designed the lovely footed bowl in a bigger, more versatile size. The high-quality pressed glass piece makes a perfect serving dish for snacks and desserts or as a stunning display piece in any interior. Now available in an array of new colours ranging from soft natural tones to elegant warm shades that were made to complement the lovely way the glass and the light play off of each other.

Heikki Orvola (b.1943) is a driving force of Finnish design. His designs are woven into the everyday lives of Finns, who drink coffee from his cups, eat with his tableware and celebrate their most important moments with his glasses. Throughout Orvola’s prolific career, which began in the late 1960s, he has worked with a variety of materials including glass, ceramics, cast iron, enamel and textiles. Orvola has received many international accolades for his innovative work including Design Plus and the Kaj Franck Design Prize. In 2002, the Finnish president awarded Orvola with the honorary title of Professor for his achievements in design. His decades long collaboration with Iittala has resulted in many signature pieces including the popular Kivi candleholder, Carambola vase and Aika series.
