iittala Finland
Glassware
iittala started life in a town in Finland called iittala! There ends the mystery to the funny name and there begins the success story of this amazing Scandinavian company. The iittala team recognizes and nurtures perfect design, and then hands production over to their quality control experts and master glassblowers. Choosing outstanding design concepts from the 1930's through the present day, iittala imprints its philosophy on every piece it produces: make it beautiful, make it useful, make it accessible, make it happy. This is wisdom.
Classic design....so eternal it always seems new.
A word about presentation. Many products shown via standard studio-images can look uninteresting. We hope our pictures will give you a feeling for how special iittala objects really are. As our website evolves, please stay tuned for further pictures showing place-settings, mix-and-match ideas, and new iittala products.
A word about pricing. Metaphore follows iittala's pricing structure, then we offer a 10% discount on purchases of $100+, and 15% on purchases of $200+. We also have many "two for 10%-off" offers. We have found this to be a mutually supportive approach. Speak to us!
Viewing iittala in person. Metaphore is a traditional store with a loyal clientele who enjoy our atmosphere and service. Only in a real store can the essence of iittala's superlative designs be understood. Here you can see, feel, think, add to your collection bit by bit.
