The Aalto platter in sand offers understated elegance in a compact 15cm form. Handcrafted from matte glazed ceramic in a soft beige tone, it highlights the collection’s architectural language while remaining subtle and refined. Use it for jewellery, candles, or small snacks — whether alone or layered with larger pieces from the collection. Food-safe and timeless, it brings both function and visual harmony to everyday settings.
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.
