Collection: Aalto 90

For ninety years, the Aalto vase has embodied the spirit of progress — its organic form redefining what modern design could be. From the moment it debuted, Alvar Aalto’s creation challenged convention, merging art and function in a way that continues to inspire new thinking.

This anniversary year, Iittala honours that visionary spirit through bold reinterpretations that explore movement, light, and material mastery. The Aalto 90 anniversary year is an ode to form — and to the spirit of Aalto.

Pure craftsmanship. Nothing added.

The new Aalto 90 Finnish Sand collection blends Alvar Aalto’s iconic design with Finnish nature and glassmaking heritage at its highest form. For the third drop of the 90th anniversary of the Aalto form, we’re celebrating Finnish glassmaking heritage with Finnish sand harvested for the glass from Karvia. No added colour is needed as the sand imparts a natural soft green hue to the glass.
