The Iittala Essence Set of 2 Beer Glasses was designed by Alfredo Haberli to make drinking beer an elegantly effervescent experience. Like an oversized brandy snifter, each glass enhances the flavor (and foam) of your favorite ale with its slightly tapered form and pleasantly balanced feel in the hand. From humble beginnings as a small glass factory, today Iittala offers a wide variety of modern Scandinavian housewares that demonstrate the company's commitment to design quality and product longevity. Based in Helsinki, Finland, Iittala continues to make cookware, tableware and other home accessories that are both lovely and useful, based primarily on the forward-thinking philosophies of design icons Kaj Franck and Alvar Aalto.
