Legend Tapio Wirkkala’s pioneering glass designs were inspired by the beauty of his native Finland. Determined to recreate a beloved ice-covered Finnish island, Wirkkala spent nearly a thousand hours with the glassblowers at the Iittala Glass Factory, defying the rules of glassblowing. Ultima Thule’s groundbreaking design features a rounded base supported by three ice peaks that float above the surface, allowing one to bring a slice of Nordic nature to any interior.

The roots of Iittala date back to 1881 when a glass factory was established in a village of the same name in southern Finland. What started as a glass factory in Iittala, Finland, today celebrates generations of essential objects that are made to enrich people’s everyday lives.
