RIIHITIE B By Artek
Designer: Aino Marsio-Aalto
Manufacture year: 1937
Type: Ceramic plant pot
Riihitie Plant Pot B is available in several colours, the specific shades are sourced from bespoke ceramic tiles created for several Aalto buildings: blue glaze, white glaze, grey glaze, dark brown glaze. Crafted in ceramic, this plant pot displays a curved, organic shape without corners and was originally created by Aino Aalto for the terrace of the home she and Alvar built on Helsinki’s Riihitie Road. Reinterpreted in three sizes for indoor use, the plant pot embodies the Aaltos’ belief that even the smallest details are worthy of our time and attention. Although the plant pot featured in the Artek presentation at the Paris World Fair in 1937, it never went into serial production. The pot is handmade from ceramic, a material central to the Aalto’s building vocabulary.
