A set of six textured tumblers from the Kalinka series, designed by Timo Sarpaneva for Iittala. The form is clean and geometric, with a crisp hexagonal base that opens upward into soft curves. The pressed surface texture gives a sense of icy tactility — classic Sarpaneva, where nature and modernism meet in everyday use.
Designed in the late 1970s and produced until the late 1990s, Kalinka was part of Iittala’s effort to combine expressive design with practicality. Sarpaneva’s fingerprints are all over this series: the interplay of glass and light, the Nordic sculptural clarity, the refusal to separate art from function.
Great for water, cocktails or anything cold — these are satisfying to hold and stack neatly in a cabinet. Quietly confident design that still feels contemporary.

NOTE ON THE DESIGNER – One of Finland’s most influential designers, Timo Sarpaneva (1926–2006) was known for his sculptural glass, refined industrial design, and ability to blur boundaries between fine art and everyday objects. His work for Iittala helped define the international image of Finnish design in the 20th century — clear, functional, and emotionally resonant.
