Iittala x Issey Miyake – A Home Collection for Everyday Rituals

Two masters of timeless design from two sides of the world share their vision of a home with harmony. The end result, Iittala x Issey Miyake collection, is a unique collaborative collection of high quality ceramics, glass and home textiles. Iittala X Issey Miyake home collection helps bring harmony to everyday life, where we are constantly encouraged to do more and live faster. It helps us become aware of how our homes have many functions: relaxing, working, socialising and shopping. The home collection of textiles, ceramics and glass invites you to celebrate the rituals of domestic life by setting a gentle mood with its colours and delicate shapes. 

The simple and minimal design language of Japan and Finland complement each other perfectly. A shared respect for tradition and innovative materials has led the two cultures towards an increasingly similar aesthetic – one that is fully realised in the new collection. The textile products are created based on Issey Miyake’s original folding and pleating techniques that have been used in its clothes making since late 1980s. The best material to keep the folded and pleated shapes is selected. The transformation from the flat shape to the 3D shape of the textile products suggests a blooming blossom. It creates the moment of surprise and joy. Placing your home keys on to the table flower is a ritual that can transit you from work mode to home mood, a decision to light up a tealight candle in the ceramic votive silently tells you to calm down for few hours, as long as the candle lasts.
