Collection: Designer: Alvar Aalto

Alvar Aalto, a brilliant Finnish designer and architect, was known not only for his modernist buildings and furniture but also for his home decor creations - most notably, the iconic Aalto Vase, also known as the Savoy Vase.

He is regarded as one of the pioneers of modern Scandinavian design in the mid-20th century and a key figure in the midcentury modern movement. Aalto’s designs were often characterized by smooth, organic forms, a signature also present in the Aalto Vase, which evokes the shapes of Finnish lakes or the movement of a wave. Interestingly, the word “Aalto” in Finnish translates to “wave.”
