Iittala – Kaleidoscope: From Nature to Culture
The exhibition will open as soon as the corona restrictions allow.
The Design Museum has invited architect Florencia Colombo and industrial designer Ville Kokkonen to create the concept for and engage in research as the curators of an exhibition on the 140-year history of world-renowned Finnish design brand Iittala. Glass and adored design classics take the spotlight in this exhibition. The comprehensive Iittala collection of the Design Museum – over ten thousand items – and its extensive archives of documents and images are the curators’ primary resources, complemented by items on loan from private and public collections. The Iittala – Kaleidoscope: From Nature to Culture brings the history of the company together in one place in an unforeseen manner and intensively reflects the developments of Finnish society.
