Let the soft, ethereal shimmer of the Alvar Aalto Collection Tokyo Vase in Luster Lilac catch your eye and hold it. Standing 160mm tall, this glass vase is blown, then finished with a specially developed iridescent coating while the surface is still cooling. The result is a fantastical glow that shifts color and character depending on the angle and the light around it. It's equally at home showcasing a fresh floral arrangement or standing alone as an art piece on a shelf.
Created for Aalto's 90th anniversary year, this Luster Lilac Tokyo edition is the only version of the vase sold within Japan. Each one carries "Aalto 90 Tokyo" along with an individual serial number engraved on the base, a mark of craftsmanship that makes every piece a genuine collector's item and a striking gift for design lovers.
In Japan, it goes on sale August 5, 2026 at select Iittala stores including Atre Ebisu, Tamagawa Takashimaya S.C., Isetan Shinjuku, Nihombashi Takashimaya, Ginza Mitsukoshi, Nihombashi Mitsukoshi, Tobu Ikebukuro, and Daimaru Tokyo (with other Iittala stores nationwide able to special-order it). It arrives on the official online store September 2, 2026, and in limited quantities at Iittala Karuizawa from September 8, 2026.
