Legendary shapes. Alvar Aalto created the Aalto range in various shapes, sizes and colors for Iittala and the World Fair in Paris in 1937. Aalto is synonymous with Finnish glass art and with Iittala. It is exhibited in some of the world's most important design museums. The Aalto mini bowls are great for nuts or condiments such as soy sauce. Also a nice catch-all for your keys & change.
