Kivi’s spectrum of colors and tactile forms enriches the glow of the candle as it multiplies the flickers of the flame. The timeless simplicity and depth of a candlelit moment has been translated by Heikki Orvola into a range of candleholders that are as satisfying to hold as they are to view. Beautiful on its own or in a group, choose your favorite color or combine them to suit different moods and different rooms – the options are endless. With Kivi, Heikki Orvola has designed something that can turn an everyday moment into something special. The vibrant brown color of Kivi can only be achieved by the mouth blown process of glassmaking.

Everyday design against throwawayism. The proof of good design is to stand the test of everyday use. iittala products are expected to withstand daily wear and tear as well as survive changes in tastes and trends, to remain relevant and cherished.
The oldest iittala products date back to the 1930's, long before Scandinavian design came to the attention of the world. With the thinking of legendary designers Kaj Franck (1911-1989) and Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) at the heart of the brand, iittala continues to be a major driving force of design.
Established in 1881, iittala has a long tradition of glass craftsmanship. Mouth-blown, non-leaded crystal in combination with vibrant colors has long been a staple of the brand as can be seen in the Aalto vase and the Toikka collectible birds. In addition to the art glass, iittala has proven successful with their supremely combinable lines of dinnerware.
iittala objects hold a deeper meaning, beyond the shape and surface function. Some may seem ingenious while others are kind and rewarding. iittala believes that creating the perfect glass starts with the hand that will hold it and with questions about what the hand would prefer to hold. All products are compatible with one another to cater for every occasion as well as personal taste. Many of iittala's earliest designs are still in demand and in production. Objects with a clear thought, created in order to achieve long lasting, everyday use and inspiration. For you, your children, and their children's children.
