Inspired by the many lakes in his native Finland, design legend Alvar Aalto's fluid waves ("aalto" in Finnish) made quite a splash when they won the 1937 Paris World Fair. Since then, Aalto's waves have become a timeless symbol of Scandinavian home design and his creative signature from architecture to glass. Each iconic Aalto vase is mouthblown, then hand cut before going through several polishings at the Iittala Glass Factory. The glass vases make a striking addition to any home interior. Now in new moss green which adds natural simplicity. The wider size showcases wider flower bouquets. A perfect gift idea.
