The Aino Aalto collection is the oldest pressed drinkware collection still in production by Iittala. Architect Aino Aalto designed her namesake collection in 1932, and a few years later, it won gold in the 1936 Milan Triennial. Reviving the functional design direction of its time, Aino Aalto makes a fitting addition to today's smaller homes with its stackability and versatility.  The rich, gem-like ultramarine blue showcases Iittala's colour know-how beautifully.

Aino Aalto (born Aino Mandelin-Marsio, 1894-1949) was a pioneer of Finnish design. Born in Helsinki, Finland, she received her architecture degree in 1920 from Helsinki Polytechnic. In 1924, Aino joined famed Finnish architect Alvar Aalto’s firm. That step proved fateful for Aino both professionally and personally when she soon married Alvar, creating a lifelong partnership that built an international design legacy. The couple worked closely until Aino’s death, collaborating on several projects that have left a significant mark on global design.
