Bored of seeing more of the same when it comes to tableware? A simple and unique collection by Tonfisk Design helps combat that question. Tony Alfström and Brian Keaney founded Tonfisk Design in 1999, in Helsinki, Finland. The company came about in response to what Tony and Brian believed was “a lack of creative and functional design in the tableware sector.” Their desire to “bring forward an ideology of creating new ideas without sacrificing clarity, functionality and personality” is still present almost 10 years later. Their dedication to produce eye-catching and functional designs produced by excellent handmade quality are widely popular and include products like the famous Tonfisk Tea Pots and Cups, CJFORM Serving Trays, and Tonfisk Waped Vases.

The Warp Vase by Tonfisk is a truly unique design. There is graceful fluidity to this vase’s form – each bend and ripple is pleasing to the eye. The Warp Vase by Tonfisk is available in several sizes and two colors: Black Warp Vase and White Warp Vase.

The Tonfisk Newton Milk and Sugar Set is a stylish and well-designed way of serving sugar and milk. The Tonfisk Milk and Sugar Set uses gravity to allow the sugar bowl to swivel and stay level while you’re pouring your milk or cream.

These unique votive candle holders from Finnish design company Tonfisk display beautiful spectrals of light. Available in oak or walnut, the Sula candle holders are a great compliment to the rest of the Tonfisk line.
