We believe there are no set rules for setting a table. You make the rules. Sometimes you even bend them to set the mood. We encourage you to clear the table. To mix old with new. To rethink routine and ritual. To be curious and playful.
We appreciate well-prepared food in its all forms and contexts. Modern dining has come to be a melting pot of experiences and influences. Iittala design team has invited four young Asian designers to complement the classic Teema collection, which Kaj Franck designed to meet our changing eating habits in 1952. Teema Tiimi collection adds parts to the original, forever relevant Teema range by playing tribute to it's uni-coloured, simplified objects.
Kaj Franck himself was a fan of collaboration and his influence lies behind the Teema Tiimi name. He suggested Tiimi back in the 1970s to emphasise the teamwork needed for a product to come alive.
The name of the collection not only refers to the classic range Teema (translated as ‘theme’ in Finnish), but also to the design process: Teema Tiimi (Tiimi translating as ‘team’ in Finnish) has been a collaborative work of young, talented designers and the Iittala design team including Finnish design masters Heikki Orvola and Harri Koskinen.
Highly versatile with endless combinations, the Teema and Teema Tiimi ranges cater for all our changing dining needs. They can be used to prepare food, and be put in the oven. Each and every piece in the collection can also be used for serving, storing and even freezing. The new products are available in the most popular Teema colour, white. The full Asian collection of 26 new components is available in Asian market and on the Iittala webstore in the EU area.
