Essence Decanter
In 2001, Alfredo HĂ€berli approached wine service with a deliberately reductive philosophy: fewer forms, greater pleasure. The Essence collection was his answer, and the decanter distills that thinking into a single, considered object. Its silhouette carries the same formal logic as the stemware, with identical stems and bases throughout the series that create a quiet visual harmony when pieces are arranged together.
Crafted from lead-free glass worked to an unusually fine wall thickness, the decanter achieves a clarity that lets the wine speak. The absence of ornament is not austerity but precision, a confidence that the material and the proportion are enough. Essence received both the iF Award and the Les DĂ©couvertes Award, recognition that its restraint resonates far beyond Scandinavian design culture.
- Designed by Alfredo HĂ€berli, 2001
- Lead-free precision glass
- Part of the award-winning Essence series by Iittala
- Coordinating stemware available across red, white, and champagne profiles
