Iittala Kivi Candle Holder

Iittala is a legendary Finnish design brand that has become a global symbol of Scandinavian minimalism and timeless craftsmanship. Originally founded as a glassworks shop in 1881 in the village of Iittala, Finland, the brand has collaborated with iconic designers like Alvar Aalto and Kaj Franck to create functional art pieces for the home.

The item shown is a Kivi tealight candle holder, a collaboration between Iittala and Marimekko. These pieces are highly regarded for their thick, high-quality glass and vibrant colors. While many modern companies outsource production to lower-cost regions, Iittala maintains a strong commitment to its roots, with most of its core glassware products still being manufactured at the Iittala glass factory in Finland.

Today, Iittala is part of the Fiskars Group, a major Finnish conglomerate known for its high-quality consumer goods ranging from gardening tools to high-end home decor. Fiskars has owned Iittala since 2007, ensuring the brand remains under Finnish corporate sovereignty while expanding its reach across global luxury markets.
