Alvar Aalto Vase, opal

Taking inspiration from the natural beauty of his native Finland, design pioneer Alvar Aalto combined simple design with a craftsman’s expertise to create iconic home design pieces that are functional and sculptural. When Aalto introduced the asymmetrical wave shape for Iittala, it won the 1937 Paris World Fair. In the decades since, it’s become a timeless symbol of Scandinavian interior design. Each precious crystal vase is mouthblown. Then pieces are hand cut before going through several polishings at the Iittala Glass Factory. The smaller Aalto vase is a striking addition to any home design. Perfect for showcasing mid-size flower arrangements or as a gift idea. The bright opal colour adds elegance.
