Taika Sato tea towel $16.60 $20.80

Description

The Taika Sato tea towel from Iittala is decorated with a design by Klaus Haapaniemi, inspired by harvest time and Haapaniemi's own garden. The linen towel can be used to dry your hands or dishes in the kitchen or for letting dough or homemade pastries rise underneath.

In the Taika Sato series, introduced in 2024, Finnish artist Klaus Haapaniemi interprets garden fruits and vegetables in his distinctively rich and detailed style. The shapes and colours are intentionally abstract, leaving room for interpretation. In addition to his own garden, Haapaniemi drew inspiration for the illustrations from still-life art and botanical drawings, which adds a further layer of ambiguity to the designs. Instead of repetitive patterns, each item in the series is a unique individual, yet they fascinatingly complement each other. Named after two Finnish nouns, 'magic' and 'harvest', Taika Sato is sure to add a touch of harvest charm to all of your home.

Klaus Haapaniemi

The Finnish designer Klaus Haapaniemi (b. 1970) has been defined as one of the most important rising stars in illustration and design. After graduating as a graphic designer from the Lahti Institute of Design, Finland, Klaus Haapaniemi lived in Italy where he worked as Creative Director of the Italian fashion house Bantam and now lives in London.

Known for his illustrations, advertising art and clothing fabric prints, Haapaniemi has designed garment prints for famous international fashion brands such as Diesel, Levis, Dolce & Gabbana and Cacharel, published a book entitled ‘Giants’ together with the Finnish writer Rosa Liksom and produced illustrations for the Observer newspaper. In Finland, Klaus Haapaniemi has designed patterns for Marimekko and illustrated the enormously popular dishware collections Taika and Satumetsä for Iittala. Klaus Haapaniemi was awarded as Graphic Designer of the Year 2008.

In November 2010, together with the Art Director and concept designer Mia Wallenius, he launched a new home and fashion textiles brand called Klaus Haapaniemi, under which he has designed his first signature collection which includes textile products in pure and luxurious materials combining traditional weaving techniques with modern prints and sophisticated colours.
