Lot Details
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.
