In 2013, OneCollection manufactured all new furniture for the Finn Juhl Chamber at the UN Headquarters in New York.

Holiday Gift Idea: Alvar Aalto vase from Iittala



The Aalto vase dates back to 1936 - first presented at the Paris World Fair the following year.  Its fluid, organic form is still mouth blown today at the Iittala factory.  It takes a team of seven skilled craftsmen working as one to creat one Aalto vase - an icon of modern design.  Alvar Aalto is undoubtedly one of the greatest names in modern architecture and Scandinavian design.  
$175 for the clear 6.25" version
