Description

The newly revised and expanded study of the world-renowned Finnish design company Artek Best known for the production of Aalto’s famous bentwood furniture, Artek was a multifaceted design company that created numerous innovative products.

This extensively illustrated book is based on an extraordinary range of newly discovered archival materials that shed new light on Artek’s history.
