The Savoy Vase, also known as the Aalto Vase, was designed in 1936 by Alvar Aalto (1898 - 1976), Finland's most famous architect and designer. He is also one of the most important pioneers of organic design.
A true design icon, this organically shaped glass Vase has become a classic of Finnish design. It is one of the world's most famous glass objects and Iittala's most emblematic series.
The sinuous shape of the Aalto Vase alludes to the designer's surname: aalto means wave in Finnish. These rhythmic, asymmetrical lines express the quintessence of Nature and herald the fluid forms that would become the hallmark of post-war Finnish design.
Alvar Aalto's series of glass vases won first prize in the 1936 Karhula-Iittala glass design competition, as well as the 1937 Paris World's Fair. Compared to the decorative objects of the time, the simple yet organic form of this Vase was a revolutionary statement.
Each vase in the Alvar Aalto collection is mouth-blown, hand-cut and polished at the Iittala glassworks in Finland. The Aalto Vase is available in a wide range of colors and sizes.
