From Finland to the world: a design vision that continues to evolve.
What began in 1935 as a progressive idea from Alvar and Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen, and Nils-Gustav Hahl, grew into an international design brand with a unique style. Artek stood – and still stands – for a synthesis of art and technology, with a focus on sustainable materials, functionality, and aesthetics that stand the test of time.
Over the years, Artek has built bridges between Finnish pragmatism and international influences, resulting in a design tradition that is both locally rooted and globally loved. Their furniture is not just functional items, but design classics that last for generations.
90 years of Artek: an invitation to celebrate timeless design
To celebrate this milestone, Artek brings together a select group of four creative partners who share its values: an open, cosmopolitan mindset, respect for craftsmanship, and a deep-rooted sense of aesthetics. Expect a year full of exhibitions, collaborations, and special releases, with both the heritage and future of Artek at the forefront.
Timeless design with a vision for the future
A design that remains relevant even after 90 years proves that truly good design never fades. Artek continues to evolve with innovative materials, contemporary designers, and cutting-edge production methods, without losing its core values. The brand invites the world to celebrate together, reflect on the past, and look ahead to the next decades of sustainable, innovative, and boundary-pushing design.

Why say goodbye to a piece of furniture filled with memories, just because it no longer fits your interior? Maybe the fabric is worn, or the color no longer matches your new decor. That doesn’t mean you have to throw it away. With fresh upholstery or a custom finish, it gets a whole new life.
