Description
carafe of timeless simplicity
The Kartio drinking glass series was designed in 1958 by Kaj Franck for the Finnish design manufacturer Iittala and captivates with its consistent simplicity. & “If you want to create a perfect glass, you have to start with the hand that holds it. You have to ask yourself what kind of glass that hand would like to hold. & ” To date,many attempts have been made to emulate Kaj Franck by applying his rational geometry to new designs. All these attempts have failed because the designers lacked the experience required to design simple everyday objects. Complexity is rarely wise, while simplicity requires courage and imagination. The Kartio series is elegant, yet durable enough for everyday use. It includes glasses, carafes, and bowls, all of which are available in several different colors as well as in clear glass, as shown here.
