Artek 85 Years Anniversary Poster
Artek commemorates its 85th anniversary in 2020 with this poster by Finnish artist Karoliina Hellberg. The artist created a work on paper reflecting her personal interpretation of Artek: when visiting the private home of architects and Artek co-founders Alvar and Aino Aalto in Helsinki, she was particularly compelled by its exterior, the garden and the terrace, a space Alvar Aalto considered to be a room in its own right. Karoliina Hellberg’s original drawing is realised in water colour, ink and acrylic paint.

Artek was founded in 1935 to "sell furniture and to promote a modern culture of habitation by exhibitions and other educational means." Alvar and Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen, and Nils-Gustav Hahl were inspired by the Bauhaus functionalism, simplicity, and the harmony between form and function.
The Artek collection is extensive and spans benches, tables, children’s furniture, sofas, and lighting, but they are most celebrated for its expertise in working with wood. Their iconic Aalto Stool 60, the Paimio Chair, and the 60 Stacking Chair are staples of modern design history. The Artek portfolio represents the most comprehensive collection of wooden design furniture in the world.
