Striking the perfect balance between material and geometric form, the Kartio tumbler from 1958 is a legendary design beyond any trend. Simple yet durable design.
Finnish design legend Kaj Franck’s philosophy valued only the essential. Franck realized his goal with the Kartio collection, which represents a lively balance between form and function. Refined, versatile and functional, Franck believed it was what one did with his pieces that made them theirs. The Kartio collection has become a symbol of iconic Nordic design that goes beyond any trend. Kartio tumblers are perfect drinkware. Durable enough for everyday while the stunning design fits any table setting. Franck believed that ‘colour was the only decoration needed.’ The vivid range of the Kartio palette represents Iittala’s vast coloured glass expertise. The 2 pc set in aqua adds vibrant detail. Dishwasher safe.
