Ittala debuts Tanssi – translating as dance in Finnish – a new tableware collection clad in illustrations by Finnish artist Klaus Haapaniemi.

For this new tableware line, the London-based artist returned to his designs for the Finnish National Opera production of “The Cunning Little Vixen.”

The Czech opera by Leoš Janáček tells the story of a clever vixen pursued by a hunter. Deer, badgers, foxes and of course vixens, all dressed in sophisticated attire, adorn the items in the Tanssi collection.
