People usually pay attention to Nordic design, mostly focusing on style and furniture, while the proportion of home accessories is far less than these two. But in fact, in real Danish families, accessories are extremely important. A decoration on the table may be the finishing touch of the entire room and is indispensable.
Today, let's talk about Nordic vases. Although they are small in size, well-known architects, illustrators and artists have participated in their design, and many of them have been handed down from generation to generation. Their inspiration comes from the Nordic nature, bright colors, and behavior based on use. They are exactly the same as other Nordic designs, and are all designs that grow out of the surrounding life.
Let’s take a look through 4 classic and 4 modern styles.
AALTO VASE
Alvar Aalto is a national treasure architect in Finland. The AALTO vase he designed for iittla is probably the most well-known vase in Northern Europe. His initial design inspiration came from the winding lake curves of Finland.
Compared with previous home accessories, its simple and organic shape is a revolutionary innovation.

To this day, AALTO vases are still mouth-blown in Finnish glass factories. Each vase requires 7 craftsmen to complete 12 processes at a high temperature of 1100°C, demonstrating the Nordic design's consistent and stringent standards for materials and craftsmanship.
It has become a symbol of Nordic design and is also the most representative series of iittala.

The LYNGBY vase is a design from 1936. It has become a design icon in Denmark. Its simple cylindrical shape and elegant vertical grooves all reflect the charm of Nordic minimalist style.

KOPPEL VASE

GEORG JENSEN is no stranger to those who have always paid attention to Nordic design. Its iconic mirror-polished stainless steel material and soft curves are the most recognizable features of the brand.

Designer Henning Koppel was born into a wealthy Jewish family. He inherited the characteristics of Georg Jensen and designed this simple yet full-bodied KOPPEL VASE, which is also one of the brand's most representative products.

In recent years, the GEORG JENSEN design team has revisited Koppel's design and reworked it into new colors. The blue vase is extremely unique, breaking away from the brand's existing design language and showing a subtle and mysterious feeling.

EVA VASE

Danish design master Bjørn Wiinblad is known as "the most imaginative and all-round artist in modern times" . His works are highly recognizable, with rich lines and colorful colors. They are a rare representative of the "complexity" of the Nordic style.

Wiinblad likes to use natural elements, such as winding vines, garlands, and branches, which present a strong forest atmosphere. In addition, the characters under his brush are often cute and happy round faces and pointed noses, which are full of fun. Among them, the EVA vase is a masterpiece that integrates all of these.

The EVA vase is quite different from the classic Nordic products that people have known before. In addition to Wiinblad's unique artistic style, it is also full of fairy tale atmosphere. When it is used as a vase, the bouquets or branches on it are like the hair of the EVA character, which is very childlike.

ECHASSE VASE

Starting with the ECHASSE vase, it is a vase with modern Nordic design.

ECHASSE comes from the Danish design brand MENU. It has an extremely classical and elegant appearance , with a slender and delicate metal stand supporting a transparent and elegant glass bottle like a water drop, creating a noble and comfortable atmosphere.

The vase is available in three sizes and three colors. It can be placed on the ground, on the table or on the windowsill, and can be filled with a cluster of flowers or a large dry branch. It is extremely versatile.

RAAWII VASE

The RAAWII vase comes from Denmark. A few years ago, the designer of MoMA in the United States discovered it when he traveled to Copenhagen and brought it to MoMA's design store, which has since set off a trend.

Focusing on functionality, RAAWII designer Nicholai Wiig Hansen drew inspiration from the paintings of Danish modernist painter Vilhelm Lundstrøm to create this minimalist, colorful and sculptural collection of vases.

Fritz Hansen, a classic Danish furniture brand, also produces some home accessories. The IKEBANA vase draws inspiration from Japanese flower arrangement, placing two brass flower holders in a glass container, ensuring that each flower can be fixed in place, showing a precise aesthetic.

HALLGEIR VASE

The HALLGEIR vase is also a typical modern design. This is a set of vases placed on a metal tray. The number can be selected from one to more. Through the magnets at the bottom, these vases can be moved freely to build the combination you need.
The contact details between the bottom of the vase and the tray are very exquisite, with only a small contact surface, which looks very delicate. At the same time, the magnets at the bottom can ensure that it is stable and upright, and it will not fall even if the whole tilts. It can be used to insert a single flower at ordinary times, and it is also very suitable as an accessory in the space.
