ABOUT PRODUCTID 15986
The Model 3030 vase, designed by Alvar Aalto for the renowned Finnish manufacturer Iittala in 1992, is a quintessential example of Scandinavian Modern sensibility. The piece displays a flowing, asymmetrical silhouette sculpted from colored glass in a deeply saturated cobalt blue. Its seamless, one-piece construction is evident in the absence of joints or seams, while the finely polished, organically curved edges speak to the technical mastery of 1990s Finnish glassmaking. Light filters delicately through the subtly translucent surface, animating the rich pigment and highlighting the vase's molten, glossy finish. An original Iittala label marked 'Made in Finland' confirms authenticity and provenance. The vase is preserved in excellent vintage condition, with only minimal indications of age.
This object channels the quiet narrative of early 1990s Nordic design—a moment when classical craft met the liberated lines of modernism. The shape of the vase echoes the gentle undulations of Finnish lakes beneath an endless blue sky, capturing the region’s affinity for organic harmony. Its material presence is cool yet inviting, and the freeform contours suggest a continuity with the Finnish landscape. The vessel carries a tranquillity and lightness, embodying the ideals of Scandinavian modernity and a reverence for natural inspiration.
The Model 3030 vase may be placed atop an oak or light beech sideboard for a striking contrast between the noble hue of colored glass and the wood’s natural grain. It suits both mid-century modern palettes and pared-back Scandinavian interiors—display
