Ultima Thule Glasses

An exclusive design reflecting the thousands of hours spent perfecting the glass-blowing technique required to produce the effect. This distinctive classic from the 1960s contributed to Iittala’s international breakthrough. The patterns gradually change as the glass burns the surface of the wooden moulds.

The Ultima Thule range was designed by Tapio Wirkkala in 1968. Wirkkala was inspired by the northern climate of his homeland. Legend has it that Ultima Thule was a far northern island buried in ice and snow, where the sun never set. Two thousand years ago, the ancient Greeks thought it was the edge of the world.

Ultima Thule also has a deeper meaning; the extreme limits and capabilities of humankind, the ability to achieve the unattainable. And it was determined and continued experimentation with glassblowing techniques that created Ultima Thule’s unusual organic effect.

Ultima Thule comes as glasses, serving bowls, a serving platter and a pitcher.
