Adornment for Dinner. Browsing at Unica Home, we saw these remarkable new dishes by illustrator Klaus Haapaniemi for Iittala. Decadent, dreamlike, folkloric and slightly surreal, we'd love to see a full-on dinner party done up with Taika, talk about a feast!
If you think a counterbalance to the highly decorative dinnerware is needed, they can be paired with Heikki Orvola's Aika, also from Iittala, as they share the same shape/design.
More info on Klaus Haapaniemi can be found on the Iittala site.
Available from Unica Home, ranging from $10. to $38 per piece, in blue or white.

Pretty. It reminds me of Bjorn Wiinblad.
...with a hint of Sanna Annukka.
These have been for sale here in Europe since last year and I've been wanting them since then... SO gorgeous! I'm a plain white dishes kind of girl, but this set may just make me reconsider. How much are they at home? I wonder if they're cheaper here...
it's interesting to see the return of the folk artsy/crafty imagery creeping back into decor-reminiscent of the seventies...I think of it as a reaction to all the super slick computer generated stuff that saturated the markets-we're getting back to a sense of history, back in touch with nature!!!I love it,it reminds me of my childhood!!!
These are so beautiful. I'm particularly enamored of those espresso cups and saucers.
