Artek – Art & Technology since 1935 Artek was founded in 1935 in Helsinki by the young idealists Alvar and Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen and Nils-Gustav Hahl “to sell furniture and promote a modern culture of living by exhibitions and other educational means”. Today, the Artek collection of furniture, lighting, and accessories designed by Finnish masters and leading international designers comprises objects that are extraordinary in their clarity, functionality, and poetic simplicity. In the radical spirit of its founders, Artek remains one of the most innovative contributors to modern design, breaking new ground at the intersection of design, architecture and art.

A catalyst for creativity We are Design House Stockholm. Our vision is to democratize design, by being the premium brand as a publishing house for Scandinavian design – a catalyst for creativity. We explore, refine and push the boundaries for the natural resource Scandinavian design. This is our homage to creativity. The term ‘Scandinavian’ refers to a philosophic and aesthetic perspective, rather than geography and nationality. We distinguish ourselves as a publishing house, rather than a conventional producer. Since 1992 we have been inviting new and upcoming as well as established designers, and knowledgeable manufacturers, to collaborate with Design House Stockholm. By being curious and listening, we explore and curate the most innovative Scandinavian design. Our products’ reason for being is always about function and details, where our principles for sustainability permeates the whole business – longevity over generations in products, materials, and production as well as in our sales, client and supplier relations. In collaboration with our skilled producers and designers, we push the boundaries for the concept of design. It’s in the team’s collective knowledge where the moment of creative magnetism arises. Design House Stockholm is all about quality and timelessness, yet personality and attitude – design with a quest for an inner spirit, not just outer shapes. Our design can be unexpected and challenging, it can arouse surprise, but will always create a sense of excellence in the midst of the everyday life. We call it contemporary design poetry.
