Description

Refined and collectible art glass sculpture titled “Aava”, designed by renowned Finnish glass artist Markku Salo for Iittala, one of Finland's most prestigious design houses.

This elegant piece embodies the purity and minimalism of Scandinavian design, featuring a fluid, organic form in transparent glass. The soft contours and subtle play of light within the glass create a calm, almost ethereal presence, making it both a decorative object and a true work of art.

Produced between 1999 and 2004, the sculpture bears the machine-engraved signature “Markku Salo”, confirming its authenticity and collectible value. Salo is an internationally recognized designer, awarded the State Prize for Applied Arts (1989), the Georg Jensen Prize (1990), and the Kaj Franck Prize (2015), among others.

The piece remains in good vintage condition, with minor signs of age including a couple of tiny air bubbles within the glass, a small scratch on the body, and slight wear on the base—details consistent with handcrafted glass and visible in the photos.

With its sculptural form and understated elegance, this artwork is a perfect addition to any modern interior or curated glass collection.
