Founded in 1935 in Helsinki by Alvar and Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen, and Nils-Gustav Hahl, Artek was established to promote a modern culture of living through functional, human-centered design. The brand is celebrated for its pioneering use of bentwood, particularly Finnish birch, which forms the foundation of its signature aesthetic. Artek’s core product lines include sculptural seating, streamlined tables, and distinctive lighting that blend organic warmth with rationalist clarity. The iconic Stool 60 and the Tea Trolley 900 exemplify the brand’s commitment to timeless, enduring forms that appeal to design purists and modern homeowners alike.
