Vas “Savoy”, designed by Alvar Aalto for Iitala
Finland. 1950's.
White glass overlaid with clear glass. The "Savoy" vase, designed by Alvar Aalto for Iittala in 1936, is an enduring symbol of Finnish modernist design. This example, crafted in the 1950s, features white glass overlaid with clear glass, highlighting the timeless elegance of Aalto's vision.
Originally conceived for a design competition organised by Iittala, the vase embodies Aalto's organic approach to design, with its fluid, asymmetrical form inspired by natural landscapes. The vase was later named "Savoy" after its prominent placement in the interior of Helsinki’s Savoy Hotel, a connection that reinforced its iconic status.
Blending form, function, and a reverence for nature, the "Savoy" vase remains a celebrated piece of design history, admired for its sculptural beauty and versatility in both modern and traditional interiors.
