Iittala Tanssi Dinner Plate, 27 cms

LIMITED STOCK AVAILABLE

Tanssi means "dance" in Finnish. This stunning dinnerware has been illustrated by the London based Finnish designer Klaus Haapaniemi. Klaus was inspired by the visual designs he created for the Finnish National Opera production of "The Cunning Little Vixen", a Czech opera by Leos Janacek. The story is about the coexistence between animals and humans and the cycle of life, captured with beautiful rich hues and colourful characters which inhabit these mystical forests and beautifully illustrated on this new tableware and textile collection. Characters such as the badger showing off his furcoat & silk pom pom shoes, the magestic deer, charming the forest with the sounds of his flute, resplendant in his red embroidered coat tails or the elegant cock and chicken parading around in their embroidered finery and the fox and vixen in their exquisite clothing dancing in the shadows of the trees. Klaus has paid homage to the  wonderful world of opera with hints of Art Deco and we think a touch of Vivienne Westwood too! Add a touch of magic to your everyday with Tanssi.

This 27 cm Tanssi Dinner plate illustrates the dancing fox and vixen in all their glory, this decorative dinnerware looks great as a piece alone or equally works well combined with the Teema and Kastehelmi ranges and Kartio glass ware. This collection adds a new dimension to Iittala's decorative tableware with its earthy rich colour palette, it is sure to become a new classic.
