Tools is a high-quality kitchen tool series introduced by Hackman in 1998, with contributions from Antonio Citterio, Björn Dahlström, Stefan Lindfors, Ross Lovegrove, Renzo Piano Workshop, Carina Seth Andersson, and Harri Koskinen, each developing their own series within the overall line.
Some of these series are still sold today by Iittala.
This is a grill brush designed by Harri Koskinen and added to the Tools series in 2000.
Made of 18/10 stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance and flexibility, combining durability with ease of handling suited to outdoor use.
Its minimal structure, formed by bending a single sheet of stainless steel, creates a solid appearance while also ensuring that the tip does not touch the table when placed down.
* As expected for the material, there are minor scratches, but it remains in good condition with no noticeable damage.
Harri Koskinen is one of the leading figures in contemporary Finnish design. He studied at the University of Art and Design Helsinki (now Aalto University), began collaborating with Iittala while still a student, and established his practice in the 1990s.
In 2000, he founded his own studio, Friends of Industry Ltd., developing a body of work that ranges from product design to spatial design and art. His work is characterized by clear, pared-back forms and a sensitive use of materials, and he has been active across a wide range of fields, including furniture, lighting, glass, and tableware.
His Block Lamp, introduced by Design House Stockholm in 1996, gained international recognition for its striking structure, which appears to suspend a light bulb within a block of ice, and became an emblematic work of a new generation in Finnish design.
His relationship with Iittala has continued since the early stages of his career. In addition to designing glassware and tableware such as Halo, Muotka, Valkea, and Lantern, he was selected in 2009 as the inaugural designer for the Art Works series, presenting works developed through collaboration with the craftsmen of Nuutajärvi using newly developed techniques.
He has also created numerous products for leading Finnish brands, including Oma and Air for Arabia, the Tools series for Hackman, and Kuulas, Finnair’s in-flight tableware, as well as projects for Marimekko, Artek, and Nikari.
Internationally, he is also known for collaborations with Alessi and Venini in Italy, and with Issey Miyake, Maruni, and iwatemo in Japan.
His many awards include the Kaj Franck Prize (2009), the Pro Finlandia Medal (2009), and the Compasso d’Oro (2004).
