Description

The Essence plate from Iittala adds a touch of timeless Nordic beauty to any table setting. Made from dark gray glass with an embossed decoration on the bottom, the plate makes for a lovely serving plate for appetizers and snacks. Due to its practical size, the plate can also be used as a starter or dessert plate.

The glass plate is part of Iittala’s minimalist Essence collection, designed by Alfredo Häberli, that was originally launched in 2001. Back then, Häberli’s idea was to create a compact series of glasses that could be used in multiple situations and settings. In 2021, the range was expanded with equally multifunctional serving dishes that are easy to combine with the original Essence glassware as well as other Iittala tableware. Elegant yet functional, both the glasses and the serving dishes are perfect for the modern way to set the table where the same dishware is used in the everyday as well as special occasions.

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.

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 colors – 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.
