ABOUT PRODUCTID 10426
The Miranda dessert cup set, designed by Heikki Orvola in the 1970s, is a refined example of Scandinavian modernism. Produced in Italy from thick glass in an intense aqua-turquoise hue, these cups feature a matte, satin-like surface that diffuses light softly, accentuating the glass’s velvety texture. Wavy, organically shaped rims evoke forms inspired by nature—a signature motif in Nordic design from this period. Wide, stable bases and smoothly contoured stems create a cohesive, sculptural composition. Each cup measures 13.5 cm in diameter and height. The set is preserved in excellent condition, showing no signs of use, chips, or scratches—authentic and unrestored.These cups embody a fresh Nordic breeze from the 1970s, with a glass language that gently narrates the story of Scandinavian modernism. Their form speaks of an era where design sought both simplicity and a reverence for nature and materials; hence, the organic lines and smooth surface, as though shaped by time and natural elements. The matte finish and turquoise color give the glass a misty appearance—reminiscent of a chilled sea surface on a summer morning.The Miranda dessert cups may be paired with matte or clear glassware, neutral ceramics, or minimalist porcelain for a harmonious Scandinavian table setting. They perform well in a living room styled with mid-century modern influences, placed on a light wooden dining table or a low sideboard with warm veneer. Combining them with a thick glass carafe or geometric silver accessories will highlight their decorative but functional nature, especially when serving desserts or ice cream.No additional technical data or maintenance instructions are specified; the glass requires no special care beyond gentle hand washing
