Iittala Ultima Thule Glass

The Ultima Thule glassware collection is an iconic example of Finnish design, created by legendary designer Tapio Wirkkala in the 1960s for the Iittala brand. The distinctive textured surface, inspired by the melting ice in Lapland, requires a unique glass-blowing technique. While the Iittala brand has a deep-rooted heritage dating back to 1881, it is currently part of the Fiskars Group. Production of Iittala glassware remains primarily centered at the Iittala Glass Factory in Finland, upholding a legacy of craftsmanship and Nordic functionalism. Fiskars Group, based in Helsinki, oversees a portfolio of internationally renowned lifestyle brands, positioning Iittala as a premium representative of Scandinavian interior design.
