Tuokio tableware – Iittala / Arabia 

Finnish design duo Helorinne and Kallio have created the Tuokio tableware collection to complement the plain 24H series designed by Heikki Orvola.

The pattern is inspired by the decorative traditions of Arabia, which go back more than 140 years, solid expertise in ceramics and the ability to apply knowledge while respecting the old and simultaneously creating something new. 

The shapes of the Tuokio collection echo the clear lines of the plain 24h series designed by Heikki Orvola. The 24h series was named after its purpose: 24h - tableware for every hour of the day.
The word "tuokio" ("moment" in Finnish) describes the intensity of time - a special moment when memories are created.  

It looks as if it has been painted by hand, with a rhythm in the pattern where the brushstrokes - the feel of the artist's work - are strongly present. The end result is an interesting, modern motif that fits in well with today's diverse settings.
