Artek
The Finnish company Artek was founded in 1935 in Helsinki by Aino and Alvar Aalto, Maire Gullichsen and Nils-Gustav Hahl. The name Artek is a fusion of the terms "art" and "technology", which were central to the modernist movement that came to the fore in the 1920s. The concept "art and technology - a new unity" was coined by Walter Gropius and also embodied the demands that the Artek founders placed on their company. Together with leading international designers, the manufacturer has developed high-quality design classics for decades, including the unmistakable Artek lights, furniture and accessories. Yet despite their global sucess the company has retained the spirit of its founders and acts in the design industry as a pioneering, innovative protagonist at the interface between design, architecture and art. While numerous impressive projects around the world demonstrate Artek's competence through experience in the contract area. Whether office buildings, schools and universities, restaurants, stores or cultural institutions, Artek furniture meets the high demands of contemporary urban life and offers sustainable, long-lasting and flexible solutions for public areas.
