The timeless appeal of Design, brought to you by {name}

Jochen Kloeters

Part of the Alvar Aalto collection for Iittala, the Alvar Aalto vase is an iconic piece of Finnish design.

Aalto was inspired by the thousands of lakes in his Finnish homeland for his floating wave ('aalto' in Finnish). He was awarded in 1937 at the Paris World Fair.

The manufacturing technique follows the original method;
The vase is blown into a wooden mold with the mouth. This gives the vase a softer shape due to the distinctive design.
The iconic design is inspired by the Finnish landscape of his youth and is both functional and sculptural. 

Alvar Alto's name is embossed on the bottom, but hard to see in the pictures
