Q & A
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. Markku Salo chose a cosmic theme for his jewels, and named this one after the sun-orbiting icy bodies between Jupiter and Neptune (Kentauri, or Centaur). 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. After all, "Aarre" translates to "Treasure."

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 ;)

It looks pretty. But there is a small stain on it and spent some effort to finally remove it.
