Last Friday, as the surprise snow storm was winding down, we were gearing up for our big iittala event Friday evening. Fortunately, the snow stopped just in time for the event to take place, and we hosted a fun evening full of food, drink, and an abundance of Finnish Design.

Gorgeous floral arrangement, donated to our event by Hallie from Hallie's Garden, right down the street from Didriks

The elaborate cheese and charcuterie platters were done by Formaggio, and enjoyed by all. They were displayed on a Barlow Tyrie Equinox Serving Table.

Guests had a wonderful time exploring merchandise and chatting with each other.

Wine also came to us courtesy of Formaggio. We served it up alongside a springy and cheerful display of Alessi's Anna G Corkscrews.

Sean, the visiting Marketing Manager from iittala, got behind the bar for a bit and poured some wine for our guests.

All in all, it was a great evening! We were grateful for all of the people who braved the snowy streets and limited parking to be with us, and also those who stopped in over the course of the weekend. It was a great showing, and we were proud to display such an iconic, influential brand in the world of Finnish design!
