Lyyli box Katriina Nuutinen

Published 17 / 01 / 2019

The Lyyli boxes are small precious boxes in blown glass and wood designed by Katriina Nuutinen, a Finnish designer specializing in glass and lighting.

Each Lyyli has benefited from the know-how of four craftsmen. The birch or maple - depending on the collection - used for the cover comes from trees harvested in Joensuu, Finland, and was turned by a carpenter from the same region. This lid was specially designed for a single glass mug made by a glassblower. The Lyyli box is crowned with a glass button, handcrafted and polished by glass designers. The combination of matt wood and shiny glass creates a nuanced and particularly interesting play of light.
