Artek is the Finnish furniture brand where art and technology meet. It's an idea built into the name itself, shaped by the modernist movement of the 1920s. Founded in Helsinki in 1935 by Alvar and Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen and Nils-Gustav Hahl, the brand set out to create a new way of living through modern design and cultural experimentation. That thinking still shapes Artek furniture today.
Every piece has a purpose. Clean lines, practical forms and plenty of character. You see it in every Artek chair, every light and every everyday object.
Then there's the Artek Stool 60. A stackable Artek stool made from Finnish birch that's just as useful as a seat, side table or display surface. Barely changed since the 1930s, it's proof that good design sticks around.
