iittala Aalto Dark Grey Vase - 6-1/4"

Flowers will bunch beautifully in the iittala Aalto 6-1/4" Vase, but its purpose far surpasses floral arrangements. Designer Alvar Aalto wanted to let the end user decide its use, whether that be to hold the paintbrushes of an artist or the marbles of an avid collector. Saturated in the mysterious depth of the 2016 Deep Grey color, the 1936 design is as alluring as ever. Though the award-winning design's raw beauty seems like an organic occurrence, it requires 7 craftsmen, 12 work stages and 30 hours to create just one of these extraordinary works of art.
