By Iittala of Finland, designed by Tapio Wirkkala
6.5cm wide x 6.2cm high, crafted from glass.
Inspired by the melting ice in Lapland, the surface of Ultima Thule was created in the 1960s after carving into a graphic mould, it reflecting the masterful glass-blowing technique required to produce the effect.
DESIGN THAT PIQUES YOU
Use them as a centrepiece on your dining table, or mantelpiece, or just to dial up the ambiance in your lounge on a weeknight for night for no real reason. Three or more scattered around a room at different heights creates a stunning effect. Grab some clear tealights that maximise brightness. Our samplers will also fit inside these too.
