iittala Aika Dinnerware
Description:
The Aika series was designed by Professor Heikki Orvola, who, among other things, has created the successful Kivi votive for Iittala. The simple and bare pieces of Aika are timeless while the whole series is firmly rooted in today’s world. In a category on their own are the large plates, whose very flat edges are shaped horizontally. Heikki Orvola. Born in Helsinki, Finland, in 1943. Heikki Orvola is one of the driving forces within Finnish design. He works in glass, ceramics, cast iron and textiles. Orvola has worked for the industrial art business, but he has also worked in a variety of different materials as a form of pure, artistic expression. During his career as a designer, Heikki Orvola has received awards and prizes, including the Kaj Franck prize in 1998 – perhaps Finland’s most important design prize.
