Aalto Bowl

Description:

Alvar Aalto famously never dictated how his iconic glass vases and bowls should be used. It was his belief that the owner should decide. Perhaps it is this freedom to interpret that has helped the Alvar Aalto Collection remain both timeless and fresh. With the same iconic shape as the Aalto vase, the clear glass bowl is a striking addition to any space. Use for serving, for ambiance or fill with anything your heart desires.

The Aalto vase is one of the most iconic glassware pieces in modern Scandinavian design. First created in 1936, it wasn’t until the following year that it gained world recognition when it was debuted by Iittala at the 1937 Paris World’s Fair. Today, it takes a team of seven skilled craftsmen working as one to create one mouth-blown Aalto vase. The same attention to detail and love of design goes into making Alvar Aalto Collection clear glass bowls.
