Iittala Scales the Aalto Vase to Seven Meters for 3daysofdesign

by

I’m so excited for 3daysofdesign in Copenhagen! Iittala is creating something amazing – the Aalto 90 Pavilion. It’s a huge, seven-meter-high installation that basically turns Alvar Aalto’s famous vase into a building you can actually walk inside! They’re building it right on the harborfront at Ofelia Plads, and the idea of stepping into that iconic shape, but on a massive scale, is just incredible. I can’t wait to see it!
