drawing inspiration from his surroundings and the way he saw the world, alvar aalto put a deeply human and innately natural depth to every piece he made. this flower bowl set is an especially unique item to consider while it contains the same free-form & natural feel as his savoy vases, it is somewhat more structured and homogenous. the pieces work equally well individually or stacked as one unit, which creates the flower.
born in finland in 1898, alvar aalto is one of the greatest names in modern architecture and design thanks to his original style & unique talents. the aalto collection made waves in 1937 when first presented at the paris world exhibition. alvar aalto believed that good design should be a part of everyday life therefore he created sensible products that enhance everyday living. however, aalto never said how his glass objects should be used because he wanted the end user to decide. this freedom to interpret the function may be what has helped keep the aalto collection so contemporary and fresh. the undulating forms of the objects in the aalto collection are like the finnish landscape with its thousands of lakes beautiful, alive, & untamed and are still meticulously crafted by glassblowers at the iittala factory. pieces can be displayed as a group or as a single, exclusive work of art a pleasure to own or to give as a present.
