Aalto vase. Bizarrely, under the project title »Lederhosen einer Eskimofrau«, these now legendary organic designs for glass bowls and vases were created in the studio of architect Alvar Aalto over 70 years ago. As »Savoy« vases they promptly won first prize in a design competition announced by the »Karhula-iittala« factory at the time. It was to serve the selection of those pieces that took part in the 1937 World Exhibition in Paris to represent Finland. Today one can hardly imagine what waves the »Savoy« vase once made. When iittala presented the vases at the 1937 World's Fair in Paris, their mysterious form stood in vivid contrast to the recognized, machine-made thinking of the time. Every Aalto vase is still mouth-blown today at iittala. Here iittala can rely on the competence and expert knowledge of its specialists, who conscientiously look after the individual shape of each flower vase: It passes through no less than seven territories before the vase has earned the name of its designer Alvar Aalto. What inspired the Schöpfer at that time to the wavy form of his vase objects remains unfounded – but fully coincides with Alvar Aalto's general statement that »form is a mystery«. The different prices of the vases result not only from the different widths and heights of the vase objects, but also from the use of special materials/colour pigments to maintain transparency.
