Iittala Kastehelmi

Iittala’s Kastehelmi collection

Kastehelmi is a beautiful tableware series by Iittala, made of qualitative glass. The peculiar patterns that characterise the Kastehelmi collection are inspired by the dewdrops that shimmer like a pearl necklace in the morning sun, which is where Kastehelmi, which means dewdrop in Finnish, gets its name.
