Alvar Aalto Vase Rain

Alvar Aalto never said his vases had to be used as vases. As such, the Iittala Aalto Finlandia Vase can be a vase for flowers, a vessel for twinkle lights or ornaments, or a simple sculpture. Whatever you decide, the signature waves of the piece inject modern fluidity and dynamism into any desired installation.

From humble beginnings as a small glass factory, today Iittala offers a wide variety of modern Scandinavian housewares that demonstrate the company's commitment to design quality and product longevity. Based in Helsinki, Finland, Iittala continues to make cookware, tableware and other home accessories that are both lovely and useful, based primarily on the forward-thinking philosophies of design icons Kaj Franck and Alvar Aalto.
