Finlandia Glass Vase 

IITTALA, !, *Design Classic 

The Alvar Aalto Finlandia Vase.

The gorgeous contours of the Finlandia vase are closely related to Aalto’s well known architectural designs for the Findandia Hall in Helsinki

The vase is Available in two sizes and a choice of colours. The flowers scale the vases well – the smaller vase stands 201mm tall is suitable for single flowers like the rose pictured , or small bunches of short stemmed flowers such as tulips of freesias. The taller 251mm vase is suitable for taller flowers such as lilies – but both vases look equally fabulous empty!
