Artek is the Finnish furniture brand which has always operated where art meets technology — the idea is built into its name, shaped by the modernist wave that defined 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.
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 chase time; it outlasts it. Explore a range of colourways and finishes of the Artek stool at END.
