Where modernism, art, and function converge since 1935.
Artek was founded in 1935 by four visionary idealists: Alvar Aalto, Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen, and Nils-Gustav Hahl. Their ambition was revolutionary for their time: to sell furniture and promote a modern lifestyle through exhibitions, education, and innovative ideas about interior design and design.
The founders believed in a holistic vision in which art, architecture, and everyday life reinforce each other – an ethos that remains at the heart of Artek to this day.
The Legacy of Alvar & Aino Aalto
Artek is known worldwide for its unique contribution to modern design, built on the designs of Alvar Aalto. His groundbreaking L-shaped curved wooden leg became one of the most important innovations in furniture design. This standardization and system-oriented approach still form the foundation of Artek's versatile furniture collection.
Artek furniture is designed to last for generations and finds a place in museums, schools, hotels, public buildings, and modern homes worldwide. Functional, warm, timeless, and deeply rooted in Scandinavian architecture.
