Collectie van Artek - Buro International

Artek was founded in 1935 in Helsinki by four young idealists: Alvar and Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen and Nils-Gustav Hahl. Their mission was to sell furniture and promote a modern living culture through exhibitions and educational initiatives. In line with the radical spirit of its founders, Artek remains an innovative player in the world of modern design today. They develop new products at the intersection of design, architecture and art.
The Artek collection consists of furniture, lighting and accessories designed by Finnish masters and renowned international designers. Clear lines, functionality and poetic simplicity are central to their designs.

Flexibility and modularity

A hallmark of Alvar Aalto's work is the system of standardized individual components that can be combined to form an extensive collection of furniture. The original idea can be seen in the L-leg, but the Aalto collection goes further than that. Products can easily be combined with each other are combined and coordinated, and formats such as table sizes and heights are flexible. Even surfaces and colors can be tailor-made for small projects.

Craftsmanship and sustainability

Artek attaches great importance to craftsmanship and high-quality materials. They work closely with experienced craftsmen to produce excellent quality furniture. The focus is on durability and timelessness, making Artek furniture suitable for both private homes and public spaces.

In addition to preserving and reinterpreting its designs, Artek also collaborates with contemporary designers to produce new creations that build on Aalto's principles. As a result, Artek remains true to its roots and remains a pioneer in the field of modern design.
