A legend of Nordic design, Kaj Franck believed in practicality. His now iconic designs are multi-functional and versatile so that each item has multiple uses. Many of Franck’s designs derive from three simple forms: circle, square and rectangle. 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 have become iconic symbols of Nordic design. The Kartio pitcher from iitala now comes in a new dark grey that adds elegant detail to any setting. Mouthblown in Finland. Perfect for serving cold beverages. A great gift idea. Hand wash recommended.
