This is my Claritas by Timo Sarpaneva.
The funny story about this piece is that I got it at a famous Spanish department stores in Madrid at half its price. When I met my partner I saw a simmilar one at his place (same signature, same year...), bought at the very same department store in Valencia also at 50% off...
