Legendary Finnish designer Kaj Franck believed in practicality. His now iconic designs are versatile so that each item has multiple uses. Functional, durable and refined, Franck believed it was what one did with his pieces that made them theirs. Guided by his desire to seek the essential, Kartio features perfectly balanced, timeless pieces that are iconic symbols of Nordic design. With the creation of the Kartio tumblers, Franck mastered the design of the glassware. Durable enough for everyday while the striking design fits any table setting. Clear glass complements the simple lines. The 4pc Kartio tumbler makes a complete set. An elegant wedding, birthday, anniversary or housewarming gift. Dishwasher safe.
Known as the conscience of Finnish design, Kaj Frank sought to remove excess in his work leaving only the essentials. In 1958, Franck realized his goal with the Kartio glass, which captured the perfect balance between material and geometric form. Simple, yet durable enough for everyday use, Franck mastered the creation of the basic drinking glass, which is a legendary design beyond any trend. The wide and versatile colour palette of Kartio perfectly represents Iittala’s knowledge of coloured glass.

Kaj Franck (1911-1989) is known as the “conscience of Finnish design.” Franck grew up in a world with elaborate dining services to sparse stone dishes. During his significant career, Franck asserted himself between the two extremes and profoundly changed our understanding of tableware. He utilized serial production to produce versatile, practical dishware at a reasonable price. Besides social consciousness, Franck’s distinct career was guided by the desire to seek the essential. He studied basic forms endlessly with special focus on proportions.
Franck has designed a range of tableware products for Iittala with his Teema Collection, Kartio Collection and Scandia Collection.
