Iittala - Essence carafe 100cl clear

The designer Antonio Citterio created Decanter with the idea of reducing each element to its purest and most essential functional purpose. The result is an extraordinary decanter blown by the mouth that wonderfully releases the aroma of the bouquet of grapes. The long and elegant neck opens slightly to allow the right amount of air while also ignites the ruby red brilliance of the harvest. The perfectly balanced lines of Decanter match a variety of wine glasses. It goes well with Iittala’s Essence collection. We recommend hand washing.

Antonio Citterio

Between 1987 and 1996 he was associated with Terry Dwan; together they built buildings in Europe and Japan. In 2000, with Patricia Viel, he founded a design company, active at an international level, which develops complex design programs, at all scales and in synergy with a qualified network of specialist consultancies.
