Classic Finnish functionalism with a twist of sunny optimism. These pale yellow ‘Kesti’ dinner plates bring a soft retro glow to the table — think Italian diners in the 1960's with their pared-back charm and endless espresso refills. The GB model by Göran Bäck is solid and well-proportioned, with just enough curve to feel elegant.
Though ‘Kesti’ is often seen in crisp white, the yellow version is a lesser-known gem — slightly offbeat, a little warmer, and rare enough to stand out. A perfect choice for easygoing everyday use or a laid-back vintage table setting with a bit of soul.

NOTE ON THE DESIGNER - Göran Bäck was one of Arabia’s go-to designers for functional yet handsome tableware in the 1960's and 70's. His GB model became the base for multiple series, including quietly charismatic ‘Kesti’ in yellow — a colorway that’s getting harder to find.
