Artek

Arguably the cornerstone of Finnish furniture design, Artek’s story began way back in 1935. Their brand was inspired by moulding functionalism and elements of Finnish nature together, which can be observed in their sleek and practical designs. Now, Artek has a long list of catalogues consisting of clean-lined furniture and lighting while playing with organic elements like wood and clay. Fun fact of the day: the founder of Artek, Alvar Aalto, was the one who developed Finnish wood through woodworking techniques - maybe this gives a little insight to the story of Artek.
