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.
