Golden Brown Aalto Vases
This item is no longer available.
For 70 years, the Savoy vase, designed by Finnish architect and furniture designer Alvar Aalto, has been one of the most famous pieces of glass in history. In 1936, Aalto anonymously entered his vase design for a competition at the Paris World’s Fair. Commissioned in 1937 to adorn The Savoy restaurant in Helsinki, Aalto's vase also became known as the "Savoy."
The Savoy Restaurant specifically selected the brown vase to adorn its tables, mantles, and hallways-- and for good reason: these brown vases change color-- from amber to orange to a warm brown-- in different light.
Each Aalto vase is still crafted by its original mouth-blown process by Finland’s most skilled glassblowers at iittala. |
