The Teema collection, conceived by Kaj Franck in 1952, is based on fundamental shapes: circle, square, and triangle. Durable enough to last generations, TEEMA embodies high-quality, multifunctional and timeless design. Every piece in the collection is safe for use in the oven, freezer, dishwasher, and microwave. The 3.4L bowl is perfect for food preparation, including baking, and is suitable for serving stews or salads. The natural linen colour creates a soothing accent, especially when paired with other TEEMA colours like vintage brown or vintage blue.
Imagine someone from the 1940s visualising their new traditional dinner set. The set, during that era, generally consisted of approximately 30 to 72 pieces, including a large soup serving bowl. The main focus was to have a specific piece for each product to meet various needs.
What Kaj Franck did was practically the complete opposite of the current trends. He identified the needs and then created the smallest possible set to meet all essential serving requirements with a minimal number of dishes, introducing multifunctionality into lifestyle and mindset. In the 1950s, he introduced just eight pieces. Today, Iittala offers 22 products inspired by this concept.
The Teema collection is crafted from vitro porcelain, one of the hardest types, and is available in modern styles with shades of ivory white and other colours. The fundamental, longest standing colours are white and blue, produced since 1952, and black, which was introduced in 2009. Mainstay colours in the collections endure, whereas short-term colours may change every few years, sometimes annually. Since Iittala's philosophy centres on longevity, the colours not only evolve over years but frequently return to the market unchanged after a few years. Natural colours foster harmony and stability in an otherwise unstable world. The primary purpose of attractive colours is to capture attention and inspire the consumer.
The collection, radical for its time, was originally introduced in early 1952 as 'Kilta'. It re-entered the collection in 1981 under the new name 'Teema'.
