Storage doesn't have to hide your artifacts; with iittala Aarre Wall Jewels, you can display them with art itself. The eclectic yet cohesive collection is the result of collaborations between Professor Oiva Toikka and other talented designers. Anu Penttinen was inspired by underwater wonders, and named this one after the sea anemone. Each piece is mouth-blown at the same Finnish factory as Toikka's famous birds. This allows for variation in color and shape, making each jewel a unique piece of art to truly treasure.
Mounting materials included. See secondary image for easy assembly.
First founded as a glassworks company in 1881, iittala is now a leading company in modern Finnish design producing a range of dinnerware, glassware and art pieces. You’d be hard-pressed to find a Finn or fan of Finnish design that doesn’t recognize the iittala logo, designed by Timo Sarpane... More iittala
Born in Helenski in 1974, Anu Penttinen has chosen glass as her medium of expression and has been able to hone her skills offering glass works that completely reflect her point of view; a true accomplishment as an artist.

I love this Aarre line. Because it is iittala, you know you’re getting a quality product. The added bonus for this Jewel in particular is that no two are similar.
I bought 3 of these and each are a very different shape from the others, unlike some of them where you expect the same general design.
If an Aarre 2.0 ever comes out, I will be more than thrilled by the prospect of expanding my collection.

Everything.

I'm in love with those wall jewels. I have some mounted on the wall, which is easy to do with the enclosed hardware, and some I have arranged in a cluster in my living room. When I want to change the look I just unscrew one from the wall and change it out with one from my arrangement ;) I just ordered two more that's how obsessed I am ;)

I ha purchased 8 of the Iittala wall jewels and absolutely love them. Each is unique and beautiful in its own way.
