LITALLA Finland 'Geo'-an Extremely Rare Find! LITALLA Geo collection's distinctive square-shouldered, geometric silhouette was designed by Ken Benson and produced by LITALLA from 1988 to 2000, reflecting Finnish modernism's emphasis on clean lines and structural clarity in glassware. This 8 oz glass stands at 4" tall x 2.75" in diameter and is in very good condition-some minor wear/imperfections present consistent with age and use-see photos to verify/determine details and condition prior to purchasing. The line's hallmark forms—seen in the highball glass translate a rectilinear, "architectural" profile into clear crystal, diverging from Iittala's organic classics to embrace a crisp, geometric language aligned with its era. Geo is credited to designer Ken Benson, with catalog production dates listed as "Actual: 1988–2000," marking it as a late-20th-century series within LITTALLA's portfolio and now retired. The collection's "Geo" name signals its guiding principle: geometry as aesthetic, rendered in planar faces and square-influenced profiles that read as modernist and structural rather than fluid, aligning with contemporary design trends of the late 1980s and 1990s. In contrast to Littala's more organic glass traditions, Geo's shapes present a deliberate shift to precise, orthogonal volumes, giving everyday barware a strong architectural presence. The Geo glasses' design inspiration is rooted in architectural geometry and late-20th-century Finnish modernism, emphasizing structural clarity and minimalist form over softer organic shapes, reflecting both the era's design ethos and Iittala's ongoing exploration of contrasts in form and inspiration. Ken Benson's Geo line is a key example of this architectural and geometric design focus within Iittala's heritage. Multiple glasses are available with discounts depending on the multiples chosen.
