RELATIONS / STACKING GLASS / IITTALA /
1999
When I visited the Iittala factory for the first time, in winter 1998, I was most drawn by a machine for pressing glass. There was something so intriguing and beautiful about this alien-looking machine that it became the muse for my product for Iittala, a reworking of an already existing cone-shaped glass (Duralex). The subtle difference lies in creating a small step on the internal wall of the glass for better stacking. It‘s a detail that can only be produced by the two-part mould on my beloved machine.
