Scandinavian dinnerware is celebrated for its innovation, function, durability and aesthetic value, and Kaj Franck’s Teema is one of Scandinavia’s most highly appreciated collections.
Kaj Franck designed Teema for iittala in 1952, and since its inception has expanded to include several revolutionary colors and shapes. The secret to Teema’s success is in its simplicity: Kaj Franck reduced all that was excessive until only the essential remained.
Teema is designed to be combined and is highly versatile; the intent was to create a practical and functional design that meant fewer items were needed to complete a set. Teema’s simple lines fit the entire range of iittala dinnerware and glassware, most notably paired up with iittala Origo.
This series is highly versatile; every piece is designed with a practical and functional aspect. Mixing these features and combining them with other dishes will give you an endless range of innovative colorful table settings. An ideal accompaniment to the entire Iittala range, Teema fits in well at family gatherings as well as in more formal settings. One of the beauties of this collection is the way in which you can combine the variety of colors, which, according to Kaj Franck, are the only decoration needed. Teema is one of Scandinavia’s most highly appreciated collections, an undisputed classic and can be found in a number of design museums worldwide.
