Description

The Claritas vase by Iittala offers your flowers a truly one-of-a-kind home. The vase is part of the Claritas collection, originally created by Timo Sarpaneva at the Iittala glass factory in 1983. During the six-week production of the original collection, only 63 unique glass sculptures were made, each handcrafted slowly and meticulously, layer by layer. After shaping the molten glass, the thick piece is cooled down gradually to release internal tension and finally polished into its finished form.

No two Claritas vases are exactly alike: each piece varies in size and shape depending on the hands and mouth that made it. This makes the Claritas vase not only a unique work of art but also a shining example of the unmatched expertise of the Iittala glass factory.

Timo Sarpaneva

Timo Sarpaneva (1926-2006) was a Finnish designer who contributed to making Finnish design well-known in the world. He graduated from the Institute for Industrial Arts (the forerunner of the University of Arts and Design Helsinki) in 1948. Even though he was trained as a graphic designer, he spent the majority of his life working as an industrial designer.

He is famous for his glassware – glass was his favourite material but he was also a master of materials such as porcelain, cast iron and textile – as well as graphic art. For Iittala he designed for instance works of art such as the collection of Claritas vases (1983) and the Orkidea vase (1953). Other products designed for Iittala are, among the others, his famous cast iron pot and Festivo candleholders, and in 1956 he designed for Iittala the company’s famous i-logo. He worked for Iittala until his death on 6th October 2006, aged 79. For his works Timo Sarpaneva received many prestigious awards, including the Lunning Prize, the Pro Finlandia medal and the Grand Prix at the Milan Triennale. His works are represented in several museums’ collections worldwide.
