Description

A limited edition version of Aalto’s legendary vase, crafted in Finland.

MoMA Exclusive: To celebrate the 90th anniversary of Alvar Aalto’s iconic 1936 design-an object in MoMA’s collection-this limited edition of 300 reinterprets the iconic wave form through the spirit of the world’s most creative capitals. The New York Edition, exclusive to our MoMA customers, captures the “City of Dreams” in clear glass finished with a specialized iridescent lustre technique developed for this collection. The ethereal, shifting finish mirrors the verticality of Manhattan skyscrapers and the play of light across the avenues at dawn. Each vase is cut, ground, and polished by hand, and has a special 90th anniversary signature. Handcrafted by master glassmakers in Finland, this sculptural vessel honors Aalto’s legacy of drawing inspiration from his global travels, merging a century of Finnish craftsmanship with the constant motion of the modern city.

Because of the production process, each vase is one of-a-kind. It features a commemorative “AALTO 90 NEW YORK” stamp and its individual edition number engraved on the base. The Alvar Aalto Glass Vase – 90th Anniversary NYC Edition measures 6.3h x 8w x 6.7″d. Hand wash only.
