The iittala Kartio glassware was designed by Kaj Franck who also designed the Teema dinnerware for iittala. As all Kaj Franck's designs reflect bold geometric shapes while exhibiting great restraint from excess, the Kartio modern glassware is no exception. The iittala Kartio glass is pure in form extremely utilitarian. For this reason, it may be considered the most widely used glass in Scandinavia. The Kartio glass is always available in clear in two sizes while a range of colors continue to be introduced to compliment the iittala dinnerware. Iittala Kartio includes a large and small glass, pitcher, and bowls that are all dishwasher safe for everyday use.
