From a small grain of sand, craftsmanship can create something special. Usually, the sand used to make the glass mass at the Iittala glass factory comes from Belgium due to its suitable qualities to produce pure, clear glass. However, we have now produced a limited edition batch of Aalto vases made from Finnish sand. The sand from Karvia imparts a beautiful green color to the glass. Each vase is mouth-blown in a traditional wooden mold, giving it a lively surface and a unique finish that cannot be achieved any other way. The number of vases that can be blown with one mold is very limited.

Alvar Aalto Collection

In 1936, Alvar Aalto’s series of glass vases won first prize in the 1936 Karhula-Iittala Glass Design Competition. Compared to the decorative objects of the time, the simple yet organic shape of this vase was a revolutionary statement. Inspired by waves (“aalto” in Finnish) in the water, the vase is a symbol of Finnish design and one of the most famous glass objects in the world.

Each and every vase in the Alvar Aalto Collection continues to be mouth blown at the Iittala factory and comes in a wide range of colors and sizes. The Collection is a staple of modern Scandinavian design and Iittala’s most iconic series. Additional items inspired by Aalto and created by Pentagon Design such as steel bowls, wooden platters and votives can also be found in the Alvar Aalto Collection.
