The strong decorative style of the Taika series may surprise those who are used to seeing Iittala representing traditional Nordic functionality and simple design forms. To counterbalance the exuberance of the decoration, the design adopted for the pieces in the Taika series is that of Heikki Orvola's Aika with its classic, clean lines, which was launched 2006. Taika adds a distinctive alternative to the Iittala range, taking further the concept of mix and match. The Taika objects are available in two colour schemes which both mix well with for example the new Iittala colours, sand and ultramarine. Taika is a simple way to bring a touch of magic to any home, and add a little joy to everyday life.
