Alvar Aalto Collection tealight candleholder 60 mm
recycled
All colours
Design pioneer Alvar Aalto’s asymmetrical, soft waves (“aalto” in Finnish) have become a staple of Nordic design since the Iittala commissioned piece premiered internationally at the 1937 Paris World Fair. Iittala takes the legendary form a step further with its recycled edition Aalto tealight candleholder made of 100% recycled glass that was produced from waste glass at the Iittala Glass Factory in Finland. The 60mm candleholder brings balanced harmony to any interior. Elegant alone or combined with other Aalto tealight candleholders. A lasting gift idea. Mixed coloured glass results in a beautiful variation of blues, greens and natural earthy shades. A few small bubbles may occur due to the recycled glass mass. Each recycled piece is unique and the colour may vary. We cannot guarantee the colour or shade of the product for orders made through our webstore.

In 1936, Alvar Aalto’s series of glass vases won first prize in the 1936 Karhula-Iittala Glass Design Competition. Compared to the decorative objects of the time, the simple yet organic shape of this vase was a revolutionary statement. Inspired by waves (“aalto” in Finnish) in the water, the vase is a symbol of Finnish design and one of the most famous glass objects in the world.
Each and every vase in the Alvar Aalto Collection continues to be mouth blown at the Iittala factory and comes in a wide range of colors and sizes. The Collection is a staple of modern Scandinavian design and Iittala’s most iconic series. Additional items inspired by Aalto and created by Pentagon Design such as steel bowls, wooden platters and votives can also be found in the Alvar Aalto Collection.
