To celebrate 90 years of the Aalto vase, Iittala presents the Aalto 90 Pavilion at Ofelia Plads. Shaped after Alvar Aalto’s celebrated design, the pavilion invites visitors to step inside the form itself and experience an immersive soundscape created especially for the occasion. Within the pavilion, Iittala unveils its exclusive Aalto City Vases, presented as part of the spatial experience. The pavilion is a place for encounters, reflection, and sensory immersion—bringing together past, present, and future through one of the most enduring symbols of design during 3daysofdesign.

During 3daysofdesign, Iittala unveils the new innovative tableware line, Solare, which reimagines the dining experience through light and form. The concept also introduces new glass art, and small accessories that extend the light–inspired aesthetic into the home. The Solare features mouth–blown glassware crafted at Iittala's factory in Finland, where skilled artisans create forms that capture and transform light.
