The Kivi (Rock) collection by Anu Pentik brings a natural, neo-primitive playfulness to the setting. Dark in color like stone, the handcrafted ceramics are adorned with swirled detailing like that of an inner rock that leaves no two pieces exactly alike. This texture not only adds visual appeal, but can be felt, making dining a rich, tactile experience. Mix and match the Pentik Kivi Dinnerware with other Pentik pieces or let it stand alone in its strong simplicity.

Handcrafted at Pentik's studio in Finland, the human touch is apparent in every detail of the Pentik Kallio Dinnerware. Notice the perfectly imperfect shape of the rim, which lends it an honest and organic presence. Next, feel the striations on the outer surface and notice the subtle yet striking color variation. The earthy grey color lends the collection a modern appeal that is beautifully mixed and match with other Pentik pieces or strong left to tell its story on the table alone.

Finnish design has a long history and is know for simplicity, functionality, and craftsmanship. It's trademark designs emerged in the early 20th century, and gained international attention through pioneers like Alvar Aalto in architecture and furniture, as well as companies such as Iittala, Artek, and Marimekko. Their work emphasized clean lines, natural materials, and a harmonious balance between beauty and practicality. Everything must have a purpose. Iconic products like the Aalto vase, Artek’s Stool 60, and Marimekko’s bold textile patterns established Finland as a leader in modernist design. Over the next century, Finnish design became synonymous with high quality, technical skill, and timeless aesthetics—qualities that have earned it global recognition, particularly during the postwar years when Nordic design was celebrated worldwide, and still is. Today, Finnish products continue to enjoy international respect, not only for their aesthetic value but also for their reputation of reliability, thoughtful construction, and cultural authenticity.
