The Iittala range is like a hamper packed full of good things, with something for everyone. We update the contents of the hamper a little every year, and even a little every season these days, but the fundamental ingredients stay the same: functional, beautiful pieces designed to stand the test of time, for decades to come. Colors that always work well together are one of the key aspects of Iittala's 'mix and match'. A fresh breath of turquoise blue, together with black – a complete and, at the same time, inspiring contrast have been chosen as the colors of the year for 2008 that are launched to the Iittala range.
Black is one those colors that always come around, although it never goes out of fashion either. It is particularly popular at the moment and can be found in a lot of retail and restaurants interiors, something that points to it soon making waves in the home as well. Four of the most popular products in Iittala's Teema range have been singled out for the black treatment: the mug, the bowl, the dish, and the plate. These also feature our inspirational colors as well. A sharp black espresso cup will also
be added to the Aika range, as well as black bowls will be launched to the Origo range. The Aalto vase will also look that little bit different when it is hand blown from black glass. Achieving a true black glass has been a challenge for Iittala's glass craftsmen, but the result glows with a rich darkness that is completely beguiling.
Blue has always been a popular color for glassware, as it sets off the vivacity and transparency of glass so well. For Finns, blue conjures up visions of the seasons and the interplay between water and ice, Finland's thousands of lakes, and the deep blue of the northern sky. And turquoise blue works wonderfully well with the no-compromise quality of black. Iittala likes to introduce its colors of the year across a wide spectrum of the range, and turquoise blue pieces will be featured in Aino Aalto, Kartio, and Ote glassware, and Kivi candleholders and Aalto vases. The color will also be included in the range of textiles on sale at Iittala stores, opening up new ideas for turquoise blue-featured table settings and new opportunities for mixing and matching with black.
