Founded in Finland in 1935, Artek has long stood for a thoughtful union of art, technology, and everyday living. Rooted in modernist ideals yet shaped by human needs, the brand’s work reflects clarity of purpose, material honesty, and a deep respect for craft. This week's selection highlights key pieces from designers Alvar and Aino Aalto that illustrate Artek’s enduring relevance, from foundational seating to recent returns from the archive. ARMCHAIR 400 "TANK" Alvar Aalto Designed in 1936, Armchair 400 is one of Alvar Aalto’s most expressive seating designs. Its wide, supportive form is constructed from molded birch with a bentwood frame that demonstrates Aalto’s pioneering use of laminated wood. The chair’s generous proportions and low stance create a relaxed seating experience, while the exposed structure keeps the design grounded in clarity and purpose. Birch frame options: natural or black lacquer, honey or walnut stain. Upholstery offered in a wide array of fabric or leather options. SCREEN 100 Alvar Aalto Screen 100 showcases Aalto’s exploration of organic form. Composed of vertical pinewood strips joined in a fluid sequence, the screen functions as a spatial divider without fully enclosing a space.  It can be rolled up for storage and rolled out to form gently curving lines that can be shaped according to your needs. Available in four height options. AALTO RECTANGULAR TABLE Alvar Aalto Featuring cutting edge engineering for its time, the Aalto Rectangular Dining Table is defined by its restrained geometry and signature L-leg construction. Made from birch with multiple tabletop options, the table reflects Artek’s commitment to functional solutions that are visually quiet yet structurally resolved. Its rectangular top offers flexibility for dining or working, making it a natural anchor for residential interiors that value adaptability and longevity. ARMCHAIR 45 Alvar Aalto Originally designed by Alvar Aalto in 1947, Armchair 45 returns to Artek's collection to bring warmth and refinement to contemporary interiors. Its gently curved birch frame is upholstered in quilted leather while the seat angle has been slightly decreased, resulting in added comfort. Available in a range of finish combinations, our showroom features the most luxurious configuration available with piped leather-wrapped armrests. Plan your visit to experience this new iteration of a beloved classic that feels as relevant today as ever. CABINET 250 Alvar Aalto and Aino Aalto Originally designed in the 1930s and recently reintroduced as part of Artek’s "Gems From The Archive" collection, Cabinet 250 reflects a period of prolific experimentation by Alvar and Aino Aalto. Often referred to as the "Cocktail Cabinet," the piece combines refined proportions with practical storage. Its return highlights the enduring relevance of the Aaltos' early work and their ability to create furniture that remains meaningful across generations.
