Artek
Collection: Artek
Artek was founded in 1935 by four young idealists in Helsinki: Alvar and Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen and Nils-Gustav Hahl. Their aim was to "sell furniture and promote a modern living culture through exhibitions and other educational means." Today, Artek is still an innovative player in the world of modern design, developing new products in combination with design, architecture and art. Designed by Finnish masters and leading international designers, the Artek collection stands for clarity, functionality and poetic simplicity.
