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.
