Description

In clear glass. Height 12-16 cm.

Alvar Aalto was a prominent Finnish architect and designer who was born on 3 February 1898 and died on 11 May 1976. He is considered one of the most influential figures in modern architecture and design. Aalto's collaboration with Iittala began in the 1930s and lasted until 1976.

He was considered one of the most significant designers working for the company. Aalto was fascinated by the potential of glass as a material and utilized it to create unique and innovative design objects. One of Aalto's most famous glass designs is the “Savoy” vase, created in 1936 for a design competition organized by Karhula-Iittala, the forerunner of today's Iittala. The organic and wave-shaped silhouette of the vase is considered an icon in modern glass design and is one of Aalto's most acclaimed works. It is still manufactured by Iittala today.

Alvar Aalto was instrumental in establishing Iittala as a leading player in Finnish glass and porcelain design. His work was characterized by innovation, functionality and an aesthetically pleasing simplicity.
