French designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec have created a set of diamond-shaped coloured vases for Finnish design brand Iittala. ‘Ruutu’, which means diamond or square in Finnish, is a collection of 10 vases available in five sizes and seven watercolour tones, which can be fitted together in different arrangements to overlay the colours. When collected and combined, they make small seamless installations where both the strength and the delicate nature of the glass come alive. The fluidity and vibrant feel of the mouth blown glass creates the delicate character for Ruutu.

“We were seeking to express the purity of glass blowing in this simple diamond shape,” explained the designers. “We wanted to show the sophisticated range of Iittala colours while at the same time handing the job over to the user who will feel tempted to have several modules to create his or her own individual assemblage.”

Ruutu will be in stores in January 2015.
