new for 2009, these birds are smaller & somewhat simpler than the other designs by anu penttinen, but still unmistakably iittala. close to four decades after the first birds by oiva toikka, iittala invited anu penttinen – a finnish artist and designer – to create her own interpretation of the iittala birds. these art objects are the simple reminders of poetry in everyday life & are as diverse as the people who collect them. all the iittala birds are mouth-blown in nuutajärvi, one of the two glass factories owned by the iittala group in finland.
the iittala group is a leading company in modern scandinavian design. their philosophy is based in part on designer kaj franck’s statement, ‘objects should always be appropriate, durable, & functional.’ iittala believes in lasting designs that brighten everyday life. in addition, all iittala products are designed to be combinable, so that your purchases today will work with existing and future pieces. this allows you to build & refresh your iittala collection endlessly over time.
20% off select iittala purchases over $100. free shipping on all iittala glass birds.
