Aatenan Aamu was designed by Kaj Franck for the Finnish company Iittala already in the year 1945. As inspiration for the ornamental glass object, the beautiful Greece served the designer. When the wind moves the glass pieces, the noise reminds Kaj Franck of church bells in Athens on a Sunday morning. “Ateenan Aamu” is therefore called Athens Morning in English.

The decoration object Ateenan Aamu brings liveliness into the house. It is stylish as soloist and also in an orchestra with more as a sort of glass curtain in front of the window, besides the chimney or in the middle of the room. The design from Ateenan Aamu dates back to 1954. The glass object was then part of the Nuutajärvi Art collection. It was already produced from 1954-1975 and from 1992-1994.

Ateenan Aamu from Iittala consists of free blown glass. On demand, it is available in three different versions.
