[chad]

calling all supershoppers...

i am looking for this alvar aalto designed iitala vase. spent saturday going to a few of the regular places around harajuku and aoyama but only found the squiggly aalto vase at hh style, but that was all they had.

anyone seen this around?

thanks for the link, but it is the wrong vase. i emailed the company and they sent me a link for the right one http://www.aalto.com/item.html?PRID=704459

unfortunately they dont have it in stock.

the vase in the link you sent is starting to grow on me...

does anyone have any other vase suggestions?

i just called the iittala japanese distributor scandex (03 3543 3453).

the iittala finlandia series aalto vase is stocked in matsuya in ginza, 7f. they have 20 & 29 cm versions.

for iittala, fritz hansen, marimekko, artek, orrefors/rorstrand and other skandinavian furniture/design/kitchenware: http://www.skandium.com -- they're based in london, owned by a guy who once used to be a part of the stockholm rude boy scene.

also, asplund (http://www.asplund.org), inarguably the best skandi-furniture store in sweden, ships worldwide. my new york friends who swears by their service saves thousands every year compared to buying it from Moss.
