Iittala Blues

Vase 320mm moss green

Moss green

World renowned artist Timo Sarpaneva’s famous partnership with Iittala spanned nearly 55 years. Sarpaneva typically began all of his designs with a sketch that he brought to life by collaborating closely with the glassmasters at the Iittala Glass Factory. The team pushed boundaries together and pioneered many groundbreaking techniques.

Sarpaneva described the famous Blues vase as a soft “round square.” An icon of modern Scandinavian design. The striking watercolour feel of this modern vase is achieved by combining coloured and opal glass. The mouthblown Blues vase in moss green brings artistic elegance to any interior. The larger size showcases fuller bouquets stunningly. The Iittala glass vase makes a stunning gift.

Blues

Originally designed by Timo Sarpaneva in 1985, the Blues vases are what Sarpaneva described as a soft "round square." This unique form can be seen throughout the artist’s career starting with his colour-rimmed glass plates and porcelain and steel collections to the glass sculptures he created in his later years. The Blues collection received a national prize in 1985. To honour the extensive Sarpaneva exhibition at the Helsinki Design Museum, Iittala has brought back the Blues vases in two new colours, elegant rain and natural moss green, as well as two new sizes, 200 mm and 320mm. The original wooden mold from the 1980s was found at the Iittala Glass Factory to make the 320mm vase. The Blues vases are mouth blown at the Iittala glass factory in Finland.
