Year 2015 marked 100 years since the birth of Tapio Wirkkala. Wirkkala designed a significant proportion of his work for Iittala - the most famous being Ultima Thule.

Inspired by the melting ice in Lapland, Wirkkala originally created the surface of Ultima Thule in the 1960s after carving into a graphic mould. An exclusive design reflecting the thousands of hours spent perfecting the glass-blowing technique required to produce the effect.

To honour the great designer and the centenary, Iittala has expanded the Ultima Thule series. Two plates of different sizes, a glass for sparkling wine and a pitcher have returned to the series. A new sturdy beer glass also joined the product range.

Set of 2 Glasses in gift box.

Designed in 1968 by Tapio Wirkkala
