Bold and sculptural, the Aalto platter in terracotta red commands attention with its generous 35cm size and matte glazed ceramic finish. Designed for dramatic candle displays, shared meals, or as a decorative centrepiece, it showcases architectural influences with warmth and intent. Each piece is handcrafted for a unique surface feel, creating an object that’s tactile, durable, and distinctly expressive. Food-safe and perfect for design lovers seeking form and function in harmony.
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.
