Iittala Aalto Votive Ultramarine Blue. 2006 is the 70-year anniversary of the Aalto vase that turned the unpredictable nature of mouth blown glass into an eternally contemporary design feature. Mouth blown glass naturally varies in thickness, making each and every vase completely unique and individual. The Alvar Aalto Collection launches new interpretations of the original Aalto designs true to the original design concept. A special petrol blue anniversary vase celebrates 70 years of humanism in design with a highly popular color that will be available for just one year. In addition, a steel bowl, duo-colored vases, and new flaming red vases bring the eternally classic shape to the contemporary scene. Other additions to the collection are interpretations of the shape in new materials created by designers inspired by Alvar Aalto.
