Aino Aalto Glassware

The Aino Aalto glassware collection is one of Iittala’s oldest product lines. Created by the wife of world-renowned architect and designer, Alvar Aalto, Aino’s revolutionary design won the gold prize at the Milan Triennale in 1936. It soon after gained the recognition of Iittala who began producing her collection. Designed for everyday use, the Aino glass tumblers are available in two sizes and several different colors; while the collection also includes a water pitcher, a vase and glass dinner plates and bowls.
