Made in Finland

Aalto Vases are mouth-blown by master glass blowers in iittala, Finland.

Flowers will bunch beautifully in the iittala Aalto Vase, but its purpose far surpasses floral arrangements. Designer Alvar Aalto wanted to let the end user decide its use, whether that be to hold the paintbrushes of an artist or the marbles of an avid collector. Lush, earthy, and enchanting, the hue is stunning even when left empty. Since its unveiling in 1937 at the Paris World's Fair, the Aalto vase has been an international sensation. Its mysterious shape has been the subject of much speculation; some say it is based on Aalto's sketches entitled, "The Eskimo Woman's Leather Breeches." Others speculate that the fluid shape might be inspired by the lines of the Finnish landscape. Regardless of its questionable origins, one thing remains indisputable: its serene beauty.

iittala Aalto Vase: The Shape That Moves.

About Alvar Aalto

Alvar Aalto is one of the greatest names in modern architecture and design.

Born Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto (February 3, 1898 - May 11, 1976) in Kuortane, Finland, Alvar Aalto was noted for his humanistic approach to modernism. He studied architecture at the Helsinki University of Technology from 1916 to 1921, and returned to Jyväskylä, where he opened his first architectural office in 1923. The following year he married architect Aino Marsio, who would become his partner both in life and work.

About iittala

What started as a glass factory in 1881 is now a Finnish brand with global recognition. The red iittala logo is recognized by every Finn and modern design fan alike, and many keep the "i" sticker on each product to showcase the trusted design and craftsmanship it symbolizes.

Iittala believes objects should be distinctive, combinable and multi-functional, inspiring individual use and expression. While we call one of Aalto's most famous designs a vase, you'll find that many of its fans and owners have found other creative uses for it just as Aalto had intended.
