Alvar Aalto Vase 27cm
Amethyst

Name: Civilization
Price range: $$$

Design pioneer Alvar Aalto combined simple design with a craftsman’s expertise to create iconic home design pieces that are functional and sculptural. Taking inspiration from the many lakes in his native Finland, Aalto’s asymmetrical, soft waves (“aalto” in Finnish) have become his creative signature from architecture to glass.

Each precious vase is at first mouth-blown, then hand cut and polished at the Iittala Glass Factory. The wider size showcases fuller flower arrangements and the tall vase best displays long-stemmed bouquets.
