Iittala Aalto Vase Clear 160mm

The asymmetrical waves introduced by design pioneer Alvar Aalto became famous during the 1937 World's Fair in Paris. In the decades that followed, this shape became an icon of Scandinavian interior design. Aalto drew much inspiration from the thousands of lakes of his Finnish homeland for his designs, which are both functional and sculptural. Each Aalto vase is produced in a number of steps at the Iittala glass factory. The glass is first mouth-blown, then manually cut and finally polished several times. The translucent, decorative vase is a versatile and eye-catching addition to any interior. An ideal gift.
