The Kaasa tealight design by Ilkka Suppanen for iittala

Kaasa-iittala-ilkka-suppanen | ScandinavianDesign.com

The Kaasa tealight candleholder is inspired by designer Ilkka Suppanen’s own experiences as an avid sailor

Drawing upon the multi-colored lights that mariners use to guide them through the challenging Finnish waterways, Kaasa comes in a rich yet gentle palette of colors aimed to recreate the same warm feeling of security similar to that of the safety lights at sea. The well-thought out details are best seen as the spark of the candle plays with the thin glass and metal base to create a soft, glowing light.
