This year Iittala has many reasons to celebrate: in addition to the Aalto vase’s jubilee year, it is 125 years since the company was founded.
In addition to being an architect and designer, Alvar Aalto was an opinion leader as a conversationalist and idealist thinker in his circle. In honour of the jubilee year, Iittala will make one of Aalto’s dreams come true: we will open a modern online version of the open discussion forum “the Human Sideâ€? Alvar Aalto envisioned.

The National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design of Norway
Scandinavian Design beyond the Myth, Exhibition, 07.11.2003—14.05.2006.
From website of The National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design of Norway:
Despite the mock funeral service held in 1980 for the term Scandinavian design by a group of Oslo designers, Scandinavian design ideals that emerged in the 1950s have survived in the Nordic countries. This must be seen, in part, as the result of an international interest in this period’s design on a world basis. A number of international designers have found a source of inspiration in this “golden age” as well as in our contemporary Nordic design where the demand for minimalism, stylisation and a new interpretation has been dominant. Indeed, many Scandinavian designers have felt this earlier tradition to be a burden, but to an even greater number it has brought inspiration and self-assurance.
