Design legend Alvar Aalto’s asymmetrical waves (“aalto” in Finnish) have become an iconic symbol of Nordic interior design. Each Aalto vase goes through a multi-step production process at the Iittala Glass Factory in Finland. The Aalto decorative glass vase now comes in amethyst special colour, a radiant new hue that transforms from blue to vibrant purple in the light. A beautiful gift that comes in an anniversary gift package. Mouthblown.

Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) is a recognized master of modern architecture and design. Born in Kuortane, Finland, Aalto began to make his distinct mark in design shortly after receiving his architectural degree from Helsinki Polytechnic in 1921. In 1924, Aalto married fellow architect Aino Marsio, creating a lifelong partnership that built an international design legacy. During his remarkable career, Aalto designed major public institutions including concert halls, museums, universities, libraries as well as private homes throughout the world. Aalto’s furniture and houseware designs derived organically from his architectural work.
