05-040. Alvar Aalto
Savoy vase
Iitalia
Finland, c. 1940
6.5 x 7.5 x 8.25"
Glass
Signed with designer's name and serial number

Probably the one representative piece of Alvar Aalto's career, the amoebic shape of the Savoy vase is a cornerstone of the modern scandinavian design modern movement. The simplicity of this freeform shape is a beautifully conceptualized take on the vase-form.

Found on May 05, 2005 in Saint Paul, MN.
