Creating interiors that merge function with artistic expression has been central to Artek’s ideology since 1935. Ever since Aino Aalto’s creative direction of the company, the quest for beauty in every part of the interior has endured, with even the smallest aesthetic choices being imbued with meaning and beauty. This attention to detail results in interiors that evolve over time, with each new object carefully selected to add to the character and richness of the living environment.

Diverse materials and patterns provide a generous ambience, radiating character and personal significance. The immediate impression is one of effortlessness, yet there is an underlying intentionality. Natural materials are prioritised. Craftmanship is deeply valued. The result is a harmony that celebrates the quality of imperfection found in hand-crafted objects, where nothing is uniform but the overall effect is a unified work of art.

Reworked Aalto classics for a generous modern aesthetic

A carefully considered selection of classic Aalto furniture and lighting is now available, celebrating such rich and storied environments. Armchair 45 returns to the collection to bring warmth and refinement to contemporary interiors, complemented by round and rectangular walnut-stained versions of the Aalto Table. Meanwhile, the A110 “Hand Grenade” and A333 “Turnip” pendant lights are reinterpreted with a new “linen” duotone colourway that bridges memories of the past with modern tastes. Natural materials and warm colours ensure these products work together or as standalone items to enrich environments filled with a diverse mix of patterns and objects, sourced from around the world and across generations.
