Originally designed In 1936, Alvar Aalto pushed the envelope with this unique shape that will remain forever modern. As a statement against industrial production, the Aalto vase promoted human minded involvement to fill human minded needs. Organic, versatile, enduring; Aalto today takes form in a variety of mouth blown glass vases, trays, votives and bowls by Iittala. In the spirit of “mind-made” design this holiday season, indulge in a bit of Aalto genius with a votive candle holder.
