Iittala exclusive: this item is only available at iittala.com and stores

Created exclusively for the Aalto 90 anniversary year, this art poster celebrates Alvar Aalto’s revolutionary design language. Aalto first introduced his iconic organic shapes at the 1937 Paris World Fair, where their simplicity and fluidity stood in bold contrast to the ornate styles of the era. Printed in Finland on high-quality matt paper, the poster works beautifully as a standalone artwork or as part of a home gallery wall. The Iittala logo and 90th Anniversary signature appear at the bottom. The 50 × 70 cm poster is delivered unframed and packaged in a sturdy cardboard tube to ensure safe transport.

Alvar Aalto Collection

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.

Iittala's designer Alvar Aalto

Alvar Aalto

Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) is a recognized master of modern architecture and design. Born in Kuortane, Finland, Aalto began to make his distinct mark in design shortly after receiving his architectural degree from Helsinki Polytechnic in 1921. In 1924, Aalto married fellow architect Aino Marsio, creating a lifelong partnership that built an international design legacy. During his remarkable career, Aalto designed major public institutions including concert halls, museums, universities, libraries as well as private homes throughout the world. Aalto’s furniture and houseware designs derived organically from his architectural work.
