The Savoy vase by Iittala is a classic of Nordic design. Architect and designer, Alvar Aalto was part of the Modern Movement and participated in the CIAM (International Congress of Modern Architecture), founded in 1928 by Le Corbusier. He was the only architect of the Second Generation of the Modern Movement to be recognized as a "master", thus putting him on a par with Le Corbusier, Van der Rohe and Gropius, the great masters of the Movement's Heroic Period. In his honor, the Alvar Aalto Medal is awarded every five years in recognition of his contribution to creative architecture. Apart from his undeniable role in shaping the architecture of the twentieth century, Aalto left an indelible mark in the area of industrial design, with works such as his "Paimio" chair or his "Savoy" glasses. He is currently represented in the world's leading museums, such as the MoMA in New York.
