In creating the Kartio decanter for Iittala, Kaj Franck freed his design from all superfluous detail. This table accessory is one of his purest pieces, presenting a perfect balance between material and form. The appeal of this glass carafe, which is available in several colours, lies in its simple and elegant beauty. Kartio is a sculptural and timeless piece, only the spout reminding us of its purpose.
