A timeless Aalto vase

Each and every vase in the Alvar Aalto Collection continues to be mouthblown at the Iittala factory and comes in a wide range of colours and sizes. The collection is a staple of modern Scandinavian design and Iittala’s most iconic series. Beautiful blooms in a timeless vase are always a great option as a graduation gift.

Frame the special milestone in the graduate’s life with Essence wine glasses. The Essence-collection is designed by Alfredi Häberli to create a series that had as few glasses as possible while still being able to serve a full range of fine wines. A perfect graduation gift.

For the graduate who loves art

From our extensive art glass collections, you will be sure to find a memorable graduation gift for them who appreciate art. Each art glass item is handcrafted and mouthblown at the Iittala Glass Factory and will definitely remind them of that extra special occasion for the rest of their life.

Help them decorate their first home

Get the new graduate started with their very first home décor. The playful colours of the PLAY-collection delight in home textiles and vases. The Nappula candleholders create calm ambience in any room and are great as graduation gifts. Choose the graduate’s favourite colour from brass, steel, dark grey or white.

Delight with green gifts

Plants make a house into a home and are the perfect graduation gift that symbolises the ever-changing nature of life. Houseplants flourish in the Nappula pots designed by Matti Klenell. The pots showcase the beloved Nappula silhouette, mixing modern and classic details beautifully. The flowing curved shape and strong stem make them perfect for creating inspiring plant displays. A plant in a timeless plant pot is always a great graduation gift.
