Information

Iisak designs custom-made tableware for restaurants and hotels. The same designs are sold through iisak.com during specific sale periods, designed and handmade in Finland together with local artisans.

Isac Lindberg, founder of Iisak

After years in industrial design across Sweden, Italy and Denmark, I moved back to Finland curious about how our everyday objects are made. The craftsmanship here was remarkable, yet surprisingly hard to find. I wanted to understand why.

The answer came, somewhat by accident, through gastronomy. Meeting head chefs at some of the country's best restaurants, I saw the same pattern. Their cooking was rooted in local ingredients and traditions, but the plates and glasses they served on rarely reflected that. Much of it was made in large, distant facilities, and the same glass and ceramics filled dining rooms everywhere, generic and disconnected from the places they were used. Along the way, we have lost our connection to the people who make the things we use every day, and with it, to the objects our meals are shared around.

The chefs felt it too. They wanted tableware that was as distinct as their food, something that belonged to their restaurant and set it apart.

That is where my work begins. I design every piece around a specific theme, gastronomy or brand, and bring each design to life together with a network of independent glassblowers and ceramists.

A product is sold out. Will it come back?

We ship to most of Europe, including the UK, Norway and Switzerland, as well as to the United States and Japan. We ship your order within 1–3 days, and delivery time then depends on where you are located. Shipping is free on orders over €99; other shipping costs are shown at checkout.

What if something arrives broken?

Products that arrive broken will be fully reimbursed. Please email a photo of the piece and the packaging to hei@iisak.com. Keep in mind that the products are handmade, so small imperfections are to be expected (and hopefully cherished).

Products can be returned within 30 days after delivery, and we cover the return postage. Email hei@iisak.com to start a return.

Products and care

How are the products made?

Every piece is designed by Iisak, developed through 3D-printed prototypes and mould making, and then made by hand in Finland together with a network of local artisans. Glass is hand-blown by Antti Torstensson in Sastamala, porcelain is shaped and fired by ceramist Katja Kotikoski in Helsinki, and ceramics are slip-cast by Jari Puttonen in Kuopio, among others. Because each piece is made one at a time, dimensions and details vary slightly between pieces.

Why does my piece look slightly different from the photos?

Each piece is made by hand, one at a time, so dimensions, wall thickness and details vary slightly between pieces.

Are the products dishwasher safe?

Yes, all glass and porcelain pieces are dishwasher safe. Avoid rapid temperature changes with glass. Care instructions for each product are on its product page.

Our practice

From sketch to table

Behind every product, there is an immense amount of work put into it, from first ideation and research, to mould making and finally working with local artisans to bring the idea to life.
