In 2008, iittala expanded the already highly individual Taika collection with the addition of the 4-1/2-inch espresso cup saucer in black by Klaus Haapaniemi, an internationally renowned illustrator. Klaus Haapaniemi has a very distinctive style of decoration, and combining this style with the basic values of the Iittala range produces an exciting mix. This saucer and the complimentry pieces in this collection, has a fantesy story told on it's surface, bringing an exciting presentation to the table. To counterbalance the exuberance of the decoration, the design is translated on a simple shape featuring classic, clean lines. Complementary dinnerware pieces are also availble in white and black. A new design and look for your table - only from iittala.
