Modern Culture of Living
Founded in Helsinki in 1935 by four young idealists: Alvar and Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen, and Nils-Gustav Hahl. Their goal was
"to sell furniture and to promote a modern culture of living by exhibitions and other educational means."
In keeping with the radical spirit of its founders, Artek today remains an innovative player in the world of modern design, developing new products at the intersection of design, architecture, and art.
Stool 60
The Artek Stool 60, designed by Alvar Aalto in 1933, is a versatile and iconic piece of furniture. Known for its simplicity and functionality, it can be used as a seat, table, storage unit, or display surface. Made from solid birch, the stool is celebrated for its minimalist design and has remained in continuous production since its inception.
Tank Armchair
The Armchair 400 "Tank," designed by Alvar Aalto in 1936, is known for its voluminous, comfortable design with wide, sturdy armrests made of form-bent birch lamella. It features a springy cantilevered frame for a flexible seat and remains a modern favorite, available in various colors and upholstery materials.
Mademoiselle Rocking Chair
The Mademoiselle Rocking Chair, designed by Ilmari Tapiovaara in 1956, is crafted from solid birch and features a combination of traditional Finnish design elements with modern curves. The chair's spoke back and smoothly rounded seat edges offer a modern take on classic construction methods.
