The Aino modern glassware started as an idea to design a simple, space-saving shape that permits stacking versatility. In 1932, Aino Aalto designed this challenging iittala glassware with rings that were inspired by the rings water makes when a rock is skipped on it. The iittala Aino glassware continues to be a popular shape today. It is stackable and is dishwasher safe for everyday use. The Aino glassware is always available in clear, while each year new colors are introduced to compliment the iittala dinnerware.
