The Savoy vase, a 1936 project by Scandinavian design legend Alvar Aalto, is today one of the most iconic objects in Iittala's production. Its revolutionary organic and irregular shape is inspired by the Finnish lake landscape. The vase, which won the 1937 edition of the Paris Universal Exposition, was then chosen as a piece of furniture in Alvar Aalto's project for the Savoy Hotel in Helsinki (from which it took its name). The first prototypes were made by blowing glass into a structure of wooden sticks to obtain the characteristic wavy profile. The experimental, fluid and bold shape of the vase has a timeless universal appeal and finds its place in the permanent collections of museums around the world, including the MoMA in New York. Each vase in the collection continues to be mouth-blown in the Iittala factory in Finland and is offered in multiple variations of size, color and transparency, with an uninterrupted success. The elements of the collection can be exhibited in groups or as a unique and exclusive work of art, a pleasure to own or give as a gift.
