Tapio Wirkkala for Iittala | 4 “Joiku” beer glasses

Four vintage “Joiku” beer and water glasses designed by Tapio Wirkkala for Iittala Glassworks, Finland.
Created in the 1970s–1980s, this model (2107) reflects Wirkkala’s refined approach to everyday glassware.

Design & Form

Each glass has a clean, cylindrical bowl rising from a short solid stem, which flows into a broad, weighty foot with a concave lens like base.
The bottom surface is textured and carved in a circular pattern, giving the glass visual depth and catching the light beautifully when viewed from below.
The proportions and weight distribution create both elegance and a sense of grounded stability, hallmarks of Finnish modernist glass design.

Use & Functionality

Ideal for beer, water or servings of cocktails.
Their clear, tactile form also fits well within mid-century modern and Scandinavian minimalist interiors.
