BOWL 262X50MM WHITE
BOWL 262X50MM WHITE
Designed by Alvar Aalto
Architect Alvar Aalto designed the Aalto collection in 1936. It won gold at the Karhula Iittala glass competition, making them the entry work to the Paris World Fair in 1937.
Its organic shapes flow freely, as water would flow in a lake. The collection has become a globally recognised symbol of modern Scandinavian design. The Aalto 262x50mm bowl follows the original shape from the 1930s in a multifunctional bowl size for modern lifestyles.
DESIGNER
ALVAR AALTO
Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) is a recognized master of modern architecture and design.
Born in Kuortane, Finland, Aalto began to make his distinct mark in design shortly after receiving his architectural degree from Helsinki Polytechnic in 1921.
In 1924, Aalto married fellow architect Aino Marsio, creating a lifelong partnership that built an international design legacy.
During his remarkable career, Aalto designed major public institutions including concert halls, museums, universities, libraries as well as private homes throughout the world. Aalto’s furniture and houseware designs derived organically from his architectural work.

EXPLORE THE COLLECTION
Alvar Aalto Collection
In 1936, alvar aalto’s series of glass vases won first prize in the 1936 karhula-iittala glass design competition. Compared to the decorative objects of the time, the simple yet organic shape of this vase was a revolutionary statement.
Inspired by waves (“Aalto” in Finnish) in the water, the vase is a symbol of Finnish design and ONE of the most famous glass objects in the world. Each and every vase in the alvar aalto collection continues to be mouth blown at the iittala factory and comes in a wide range of colors and sizes. The collection is a staple of modern Scandinavian design and iittala’s most iconic series. Additional items inspired by aalto and created by Pentagon design such as steel bowls, wooden platters and votives can also be found in the alvar aalto collection.
