Finnish design legend, Alvar Aalto, combined simple design and a craftsman’s expertise, to create his iconic home decor. Each piece in the Aalto Collection is a timeless symbol of Scandinavian interior home design that showcases function and sculpture.
Inspired by the natural beauty of his native Finland, design legend Alvar Aalto’s asymmetrical wave (“aalto” in Finnish) shape made quite a splash when it won the 1937 Paris World Fair. Since then, it’s become a timeless symbol of Scandinavian home design. Generously sized to serve multiple dishes or an entree, the versatile Iittala platter can also be used as a trivet, cutting board or as a stunning display piece.

Alvar & Aino Aalto
Legendary Finnish architect Alvar Aalto (1898 – 1976) is one of the most important designers of the 20th century. His work is a uniquely Scandinavian interpretation of modernist values and his approach was brilliantly consistent, unique and recognisable in each of the fields he chose to work in.
