Artek

In 1935, four idealists, Alvar and Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen, and Nils-Gustav Hahl, founded Artek—a Helsinki based company with an ambition to create furniture at the intersection of design, architecture, art, and education. Today Artek remains an innovative player in the world of modern industrial design, creating products with the same radical spirit as its Modernist beginnings. Designs by Finnish masters and leading international creators comprise the current Artek collection. With a selection of furniture, lighting, and accessories, Artek products incarnate clarity, functionality, and poetic simplicity.
