Iittala Essence Beer Glass Set
The Essence beer glasses, designed by Alfredo Häberli, are a perfect addition to Iittala’s Essence glass collection. The idea of the glassware collection is to simplify the wide range of wine and beer glasses into a few essential, versatile glasses. The stems and bases of the glasses are identical, creating a unique sense of balance and thoughtful functionalism.
Each set comes with two glasses holding 48cl / 16 oz.
