Legendary Finnish design duo, Alvar and Aino Aalto, combined modern design with a craftsman’s expertise. The talented couple created exceptional home decor that was both functional and sculptural. This asymmetrical, fluid wave design was originally created for the luxury Savoy restaurant in Helsinki, which opened in 1937. That same year the vase was showcased to universal acclaim at the Paris World Fair and is today considered an icon of Scandinavian design.
Every Aalto vase is unique. Each piece is mouthblown by a master glass maker at the Iittala Glass Factory in Finland, it is then hand cut and polished several times. Iittala curates a selection of colours that give a contemporary elegance to the design. This tall version of the Savoy vase is perfect for showcasing long-stemmed flowers. It’s a striking piece of home décor as well as a memorable gift idea.
