Alvar Aalto was born in Kuortane, Finland, and is recognized today as one of the great masters of modern architecture. He designed buildings for almost all key public institutions, standardised housing and private homes. Aalto's architecture is distinctively Finnish, with a warm humanity and a dynamic relationship with natural surroundings. His buildings stand out for their superbly executed details, unique use of materials, and ingenious use of lighting. Aalto began designing furnishings as a natural extension of his architectural thinking and founded Artek in 1935 with his wife Aino, Maire Gullichsen, and Nils-Gustav Hahl to market and sell their furniture, lighting, and textiles, particularly on international markets. Artek is an innovative player in the world of modern design, developing new products at the intersection of design, architecture, and art. Founded in Helsinki in 1935 by Alvar and Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen, and Nils-Gustav Hahl, Artek's goal was to promote a modern culture of living through selling furniture and organizing exhibitions and other educational means. The Artek collection consists of furniture, lighting, and accessories designed by Finnish masters and leading international designers, standing for clarity, functionality and poetic simplicity.
