Iittala - Alvar Aalto, Timo Sarpaneva - Platter (3) - Glass

Two light-blue glass bowls designed in 1936 by Alvar Aalto and inspired by the organic shapes of Finnish lakes. The glass bowls are part of the iconic Alvar Aalto collection from the Finnish brand Iittala. This collection, originally designed in 1936 for a competition and made famous by the "Savoy vase," is inspired by the organic, undulating forms of the Finnish landscape and the many lakes. The items are both functional and sculptural and are often used as decorative showpieces or serving bowls. The bowls are in new condition in their original packaging. They bear the designer's name stamped on the bottom. In addition, a heavy, solid glass candlestick (or lantern) from the famous 'Archipelago' series. This series was designed in the late 1970s/early 1980s by the legendary master designer Timo Sarpaneva for Iittala. The piece is made of high-quality, clear ice-like glass with trapped air bubbles in the core of the thick glass. This creates a unique light refraction when a candle is burned inside, reminiscent of organic textures in Scandinavian nature, such as frozen ice. The holder is in new condition and is 10 cm high and 9 cm wide. It features a factory sticker and is in new condition.
