$ 295.00
The fluidity and vibrant feel of the mouth blown glass creates the delicate character for the new Iittala collectible vase Ruutu. Created by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, Ruutu might be simple in shape but it takes the most skilled craftsmen in the glass factory to produce.
Ruutu, which means diamond or square in Finnish, is a collection of 10 vases available in five sizes and seven colours. When collected and combined, they make small seamless installations where both the strength and the delicate nature of the glass come alive. Like Ittala’s iconic Alvar Aalto collection, Ruutu is also created in Iittala’s Finland factory. However, where the Aalto vase embodies an organic form, Ruutu follows strict form and makes a perfect collectible.

Each vase is a simplified masterpiece taking seven craftsmen 24 hours to produce in the Iittala glass factory. Glass blower Tapani Viljamaa says, “It is fascinating to struggle with a living material. Glass is a material that does not forget if you do not treat it well. It has a memory.
Hand wash only.

Alvar Aalto Collection 1936 Finlandia vase - 5.68 x 5.6 x 8"
$ 164.95
The Aalto Vase, also known as the Savoy Vase, is a world famous piece of glassware and an iconic Finnish design created by architect Alvar Aalto and his wife Aino. It was one of a range of custom furnishings and fixtures created by the Aaltos, and used in the luxury Savoy restaurant in Helsinki that opened in 1937 (You can still dine at the Savoy today. Be sure to try the tasty Vorschmack, and have a Calvados with your coffee for us!).
Of the vase Aalto said, "An object doesn't have to be a final product; on the contrary, it should be manufactured so that people themselves, guided by their own individual rules, can bring its form to perfection."
Handblown in Finland.The vase's design was inspired by the dress of a Laplandic woman. Called Eskimakvinnans skinnbyxa (the Eskimo woman's leather breech), the design consisted of a series of crayon drawings on cardboard and scratch paper. Originally manufactured by the Iittala glassworks using a wood mold which was slowly burned aways, today the mold is made of graphite. Each vase requires a team of seven people to make it. The original height of the Savoy vase was 5.5 inches. Since then, many sizes of the vase are in production in a variety of colors. The way shape of the vase creates small pockets to help arrange flowers. It is also a beautiful container for fruit or other objects.
