Aalto glass, 12 cl, rio brown

Aino and Alvar Aalto originally created the Aalto glasses for the Riihimäki glass design competition in 1933. The glasses reflect Aino Aalto's design philosophy, where simplicity and practicality go hand in hand. The Aalto glasses draw inspiration from the original sketches, bringing a classic to the modern home. The shade of the glasses is Rio brown, a deep and warm hue that Alvar Aalto favored in his projects during the 1930s.

Manufactured as a special edition by Iittala, these glasses are part of the company's archive launches that celebrate Iittala's rich design heritage. They are perfectly suited as cocktail glasses, adding both history and style to the table.
