For the Aalto 90 anniversary year, Iittala invites contemporary artists to reinterpret the iconic Aalto vase through their own creative lens.
The first collaboration features Helsinki-based visual artist Irene Suosalo, known for her distinctive animation and video art that blends retro aesthetics with experimental techniques. Named Finland’s Illustrator of the Year in 2022, Suosalo has worked with global brands such as Bottega Veneta, Burberry, The New York Times and Bloomberg, and her works have been exhibited widely across Europe.
Her contribution opens a year of collaborations that will bring fresh, unexpected perspectives to one of Finland’s most beloved design icons — with more artists to be revealed throughout 2026.
