Description

Iiitala's Ruutu vases were designed by the French brothers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec. Each Ruutu vase is unique: they are mouth-blown into a steel mould and then polished by hand. The difficult shape of the vase requires 24 hours of production and seven skillful professionals. The Ruutu vases come in several shades to choose from, and you can also combine vases in different sizes and shapes to create a unique configuration on the windowsill or side table or for a contemporary centrepiece. 

The vase's lovely and fresh salmon pink shade was picked from Iittala's extensive glass colour archive, and the pigment is created with Iittala's very own glass recipe. The pink shade makes the perfect pop of colour to spice up your home decor, so the geometric vase is sure to catch the eye with or without flowers.

Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec

The French brothers Ronan (b. 1971) and Erwan Bouroullec (b. 1976) are among the most famous names in contemporary design. The duo founded their shared studio in Paris in 1999, and their wide-ranging body of work extends from furniture and lighting to textiles, ceramics and spatial design.

The Bouroullecs’ design is characterised by a pared-back design language, a subtle use of materials and an interest in the relationships between space, objects and people. They have collaborated with brands such as Vitra, HAY, Flos and Magis.

Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec – reformers of French design

Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec are French designer brothers working in Paris, whose collaboration has shaped the field of international design since the late 1990s. Ronan studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, while Erwan studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts et Métiers in Cergy-Pontoise.

The brothers began working together in 1998. The following year, they founded their shared studio in Paris, which operates in close interaction with both industry and the cultural field.

Spatiality as a starting point

The Bouroullecs’ design brings together clean lines, a subtle handling of materials and an interest in how objects structure the interaction between people. The brothers’ work is not limited to individual products; it is marked by a strong spatial way of thinking.

The Bouroullecs are known especially for their long collaboration with the Swiss Vitra, for whose collection they have designed numerous office and home furnishings. They have also collaborated with HAY, Flos, Magis and Kartell, among others. 

Success around the world

The Bouroullecs’ work has been widely seen in international exhibitions, and it belongs to the collections of the MoMA in New York, the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Art Institute of Chicago, among others. Their work has been honoured with several international awards, such as the London Design Medal in 2014 and the Compasso d’Oro in 2022.

In 2023, the brothers moved to working independently, but their shared body of work still forms one of the most significant in contemporary design.

    I purchased three vases from Finnish Design. I live in the U.S. and was nervous about ordering oversees and especially shipping that far but everything turned out great. The items arrived well bubble wrapped and secure and I was very pleased with the online team that answered a several questions for me. One item was on back order and they kept me well informed of the status and process to source and ship it.
