ABOUT PRODUCTID 33023
The Aslak dish/candle holder, designed by Tapio Wirkkala for Finnish brand Iittala, is an example of 1980s Scandinavian glass artistry. Crafted from clear pressed glass, it combines a cool, crystalline transparency with a substantial feel. The glossy, polished inner bowl is surrounded by a wide, irregular rim featuring a frosted, ice-like texture reminiscent of frozen water. The organic, sculptural silhouette and seamless construction, free from any fittings or additional materials, speak to the mid-century modern ethos of the piece. The condition is very good, with only minimal signs of use typical for its age. Within this compact object resonates a Nordic tale of harmony between nature and design: glass shaped into a fluid, unexpected form, evoking the image of Finnish lakes caught in winter. The dish seems to capture a fragment of wintry light, its transparency and cool sheen creating an impression of quiet, restrained elegance. It gently recalls an era when everyday objects balanced function with artistic freedom. Aslak will fit well on a minimalist dining table, where its glass surface can be paired with matte ceramics or natural wood. It may serve as a candle holder to accentuate its play of light, or as a small dish for snacks. In mid-century modern interiors, it can be combined with geometric forms and a monochrome palette, while in more eclectic settings, it pairs effectively with vintage elements that emphasize its sculptural quality. The listed price refers to one piece.
