BRAND: Iittala | DESIGNER: Aino Aalto 

This glassware made a splash when design legend, Aino Aalto, debuted it over eighty years ago. Inspired by ripples in the water, the simple and elegant space-saving form permits stacking and versatility. Her classic glassware has continue to send ripples through the design world since its launch in 1932!

Aino Aalto designed functionalism-inspired housewares for contemporary homes. Her approach was steeped in the Modernism architectural style which emphasized an honest use of materials and affordable mass production. One of Aalto’s most notable designs for Iittala is her pressed glassware, inspired by the circles that form when a stone is thrown into the water. First seen at a design competition held by the Karhula Glass Factory in 1932, Aalto’s Bölgeblick entry won her second place. The glassware went into production that same year and continues to prove that essential design survives the test of time.
