Iittala Alvar Aalto Bowl

What started as a glass factory in Iittala, Finland, today celebrates generations of essential objects that are made to enrich people’s everyday lives. Iittala believes objects should be distinctive, combinable and multi-functional, with lasting design that inspires individual use and expression.

The progressive philosophy of design heroes, Kaj Franck and Alvar Aalto, still inspires to keep Iittala forever relevant. They believe in timeless design that will never be thrown away.

Legendary design pioneer Alvar Aalto took inspiration from his native Finnish landscape when creating his iconic wave (“aalto” in Finnish) shape. Combining both function and sculpture, Aalto’s waves have become a symbol of Scandinavian design since winning the 1937 Paris World Fair. The smallest Aalto bowl is both practical and versatile for serving small snacks and desserts or displaying nuts and candies. New linen colour adds natural fresh sophistication to any interior.
