Iittala Ruutu

CONCEPT DESIGN, PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, DESIGN MANAGEMENT, DESIGN STRATEGY

Ruutu collection is designed by the French designers Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec. The fludity of mouth blown glass and the vibrant quality of the flat surfaces create an elegant combination with the rigid geometric shape.

The simple shape in beautiful colours evidently proposes to arrange the vase in groups and thereby encourages collecting. Ruutu might be simple in shape but it requires very skillful craftsmen to manufacture.

The development project was challenging and required a lot of work from the whole team.
