The Essence red wine glasses, designed by Alfredo Häberli, belong to Iittala’s Essence glass collection. The idea of the glassware collection is to simplify the wide range of wine and beer glasses into a few essential, versatile glasses. The stems and bases of the glasses are identical, creating a unique sense of balance and thoughtful functionalism. The Essence collection has won the iF Design Award and Les Découvertes Award.

Essence is an elegant and stylish glassware collection, created with the essential idea of having as few glasses as possible, while still being able to serve a full range of fine wines. The stem and base of each glass are the of same size, while the glasses share the same shape but different dimensions. Senta is a range composed by three different wine glasses, well-balanced and with soft lines. Origo is a tableware collection with a striped pattern and available in many different colours – a perfect range to combine with other Iittala tableware collection. The artist’s personality is evident in all his designs. He uses his own experiences, daily life, childhood, observations and thoughts while developing ideas and designs for his products.
