The Savoy restaurant was designed by Alvar and Aino Aalto in 1937. (Aalto’s famous vase for Iittala is actually known as the Savoy vase, since it was created for the restaurant.) During this year’s Helsinki Design Week, Savoy’s new owners announced plans for a refresh under the direction of interior designer Ilse Crawford and introduced a new menu by head chef Helena Puolakka. The dining room chairs, designed by Aino Aalto, are original. They’re not going anywhere. Photo 17 of 17 in Here Are the Highlights From Helsinki Design Week
