Artek is the Finnish furniture brand which has always operated where art meets technology — the idea is literally built into its name. 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.
Shaped by the modernist wave that defined the 1920s, every piece of Artek furniture has purpose: clean lines, functional forms, and a sense of character that develop a rich patina over the years. You see it in every Artek chair, every piece of lighting, every object that feels both familiar and forward‑thinking.
And then there’s the icon — the Artek Stool 60. A universal stackable stool that works as seating, a side table, or a display surface. Made from Finnish birch and barely unchanged since the 1930s, it’s proof that good design doesn’t date. Explore a range of colourways and finishes of the Artek stool at END.
