Artek

Artek is a leading design company founded in Helsinki, Finland in 1935. At the helm of the brand is architect husband-wife Alvar and Aino Aalto, art collector Maire Gullichsen, and art historian Nils-Gustav Hahl.

The brand offers furniture, lighting, and accessories designed by Finnish creatives and international designers.

The name Artek is a synthesis of “art” and “technology”—concepts central to the brand’s innovative products. Across the designs, you’ll discover clarity, functionality, and simplicity.

At Città, we are proud to offer Artek’s Kiila coat stand and Riihitie planter. The sculptural design of the Kiila coat stand provides practical storage with hallways and entrances in mind. The Riihitie planter was designed by Artek co-founder Aino Aalto and first presented at the Paris World Fair in 1937.
