Ultima Thule Red Wine Glass 2-pack. This red wine glass has a tactile feel and is produced mainly for red wines. The well-marked and unevenly designed cupola is as wide at the bottom as in the large opening, but curves slightly inwards in the middle. This unique wine glass provides an extraordinary wine experience that is hard to find elsewhere. Designed as early as 1968 by Tapio Wirkkala, Ultima Thule is a modern classic that contributed to a breakthrough for Iittala and put it on the design map.

Iittala is one of Finland's most well-known and respected design brands, particularly renowned for its glass production. The company represents timeless Nordic design with a focus on function, aesthetics, and sustainability. Iittala’s products are not only beautiful but also created for everyday use – from drinking glasses and vases to candleholders and serving dishes.
Glass production is carried out with great craftsmanship, where traditional methods are combined with modern technology. Iittala has its own glassworks in the village of Iittala in southern Finland, where mouth-blown and machine-blown glass items are produced with meticulous precision. Material quality and design heritage are always central.
Iittala was founded in 1881 in the village of the same name by Petter Magnus Abrahamsson, originally as an ironworks with glass production. During the 20th century, Iittala evolved into a dedicated glass producer and quickly became a pioneer in Scandinavian design.
The company's major breakthrough came during the 1930s and 1940s, when designers such as Alvar Aalto, Aino Aalto, and later Kaj Franck created iconic works for Iittala.
Since 2007, Iittala has been part of Fiskars Group, but the design legacy and production site in Iittala remain and attract both tourists and design enthusiasts. The brand stands for sustainable design – based on the principle that good design should not be thrown away, but live on for generations.
