The history of Artek

Artek is one of the most recognized and largest design brands in Finland. They are particularly known for their lamps, their great tradition of quality and their enormous respect for nature, which exceeds most people's. The company was founded in 1935 by four young designers - including Alvar Aalto, whose designs are still a central part of the Artek collection. His lamps not only have an aesthetic appearance, but are designed with a focus on the impact of light on the environment.

The history of Artek
The Finnish company Artek was founded in 1935 by Alvar Aalto, his wife Aino Aalto, art historian Nils-Gustav Hahl and artist Marie Gullichsen. Their mission was "to sell furniture and promote modern living culture through exhibitions and other educational means." The non-Finnish name "Artek" is a combination of the words "Art" and "Technology". Inherent in this is the desire to combine technical expertise in production with artistic design and the highest quality materials.

In particular, Aalto's birch wood furniture, Armchair 41 and Stool 60, are widely copied classics. The furniture has been in production since 1933 and is an important product in their range. Today, the Artek collection consists of furniture, lighting and home accessories designed by Finnish masters and international designers. In lighting, their collection still features many lamps from Alvar Aalto, but other leading Finnish designers such as Juha Leiviskä and Eero Aarnio are also represented.

Artek - Pure Finnish design history


Finnish design is not just interior design. It's considered more of a lifestyle and not just something that makes the interior attractive. Finnish design is in touch with nature, which can be seen in the ability to maximize natural light in interior design. Attention is paid to detail and everything is carefully crafted. They often draw inspiration from nature - both in form and material as well as in the overall experience of the product. "Less is More" - Minimalism and simplicity is a primary element in interior design, including arranging furniture so that you can easily move around the entire room. In other words, there is no "clutter" in Finnish design.

Lighting from Artek is a good example of this. Artek's collection is characterized by handmade lamps in the best materials. There are no coincidences - the decorative details are simple, carefully thought out and considered in relation to the impact of the beams on the surroundings. For example, the perforated ring, which is a recurring detail on several lampshades. The dotted ring not only gives the lamp a decorative look, but also allows a diffuse and pleasant light to penetrate the surroundings. The ring also provides a halo effect that adds an elegant touch to the design.
