An iconic milestone of 20th-century Scandinavian design, this Savoy organic wave vase was designed by legendary Finnish architect and pioneer Alvar Aalto in 1936 and produced in Finland by Iittala. Hand-blown in a vibrant, saturated cobalt blue glass, the free-form undulating silhouette captures Aalto's signature organic modernism—inspired by the natural contours of Finnish lakes and waves. Iittala produced this rich, saturated cobalt blue color run during the late 1980s and 1990s. That run was discontinued in the late 1990s as Iittala refreshed its color palette, making examples from this era increasingly collectible. This piece features the authentic "ALVAR AALTO" acid-etched/acid-stamped signature on the underside, alongside its original red circular Iittala "i" decal label on the upper rim. Measuring 6.25" H x 8 1/8" W x 7 5/16" D, this piece serves as both a functional floral vessel and a standalone sculpture. The vase is in excellent vintage condition. The cobalt glass remains brilliant and clear with no chips, cracks, or flea bites, exhibiting only minor, light shelf scuffs to the underside base consistent with gentle display and handling. The acid stamp on the base is crisp and clear, and the original paper Iittala label remains intact on the exterior. Designed in 1936 by visionary Finnish architect Alvar Aalto, the iconic Savoy vase was created for a competition held by the Karhula-Iittala glassworks ahead of the 1937 Paris World’s Fair. Inspired by the natural contours, fluid shorelines, and lakes of Finland—a thematic nod to Aalto’s own name, which translates to "wave" in Finnish—the design made history by breaking away from the rigid, geometric symmetry of traditional 1930s glassware...

78476 Impi Sotavalta Finnish Flatweave Rug, 06'06 x 09'07. Bold yet disciplined, this handwoven Finnish flatweave captures the intellectual elegance of early 20th-century design at its most refined. At once architectural and expressive, it channels the confident geometry of Art Deco through the restrained clarity of Bauhaus philosophy. The striated brick red and mauve backdrop glows with a softened intensity, creating a foundation that feels grounded, cultivated, and deeply considered. This is not merely a rug—it is a design statement intended for interiors where art, architecture, and lifestyle intersect. At the heart of the exceptional composition, an abstract composite emerges from superimposed geometric fragments. Angular blocks, stepped forms, and cross-like emblems interlock with deliberate asymmetry, creating a dynamic tension that feels both cerebral and playful. The blunt outlining reinforces structure, while subtle tonal shifts soften the rigidity, allowing this extraordinary masterpiece to breathe. There is movement here—an orchestrated rhythm that reveals itself slowly, rewarding the attentive eye. Symbolically, the interlocking forms evoke construction, progress, and human ingenuity—hallmarks of the modernist era in which Finnish designers sought to harmonize craft with innovation. The stepped shapes suggest elevation and momentum, while the iconic cross motifs imply balance and alignment. Earth-infused hues—dusty rose, muted terracotta, soft olive, and warm clay—temper the geometry with warmth, ensuring the design feels inviting rather than austere. It is this rare balance between intellect and intimacy that defines its appeal. Placed within a curated interior—whether a refined modernist residence, a gallery-like living space, or a thoughtfully layered Scandinavian-inspired retreat—this exquisite work of art becomes an anchor of cultivated taste. Pieces of this conceptual clarity and chromatic confidence are increasingly sought by collectors who value design history and artisanal authenticity. This is woven modernism at its most elegant: intentional, expressive, and unmistakably distinguished. Rendered in variegated shades of brick red, mauve, brown, pink, orange, and tan with other accent colors. Possibly produced by Suomen Kasityon Ystavat...
