into the woods






As part of The London Design Festival the Chelsea Space is exhibiting a collection of Finnish glass design from Iittala, curated by Finnish designer Harri Koskinen. The exhibition has some rare and extraordinarily beautiful pieces on loan from the design Museum in Helsinki and from Iittala's own collection.
The last image shows pieces Harri has designed for Iittala's Art Works series.

  4. anna - yes, that wasn't very clear! it's the title of the exhibition -
    'into the woods : an exploration of iittala'

    marion - well you could always start a collection of his glass ware. it's not as expensive as his furniture!
