The original Artek manifest and Alvar doing his morning gymnastics
Artek since 1935Artek and its renowned products turned 80 in 2015. The company, with its co-founder and main character being Alvar Aalto, still produces the Aalto collection in the same factory since its foundation. The factory, originally called the Korhonen Furniture Factory, still retrieves its raw material from the birch woods close to Turku on the Finnish west coast. Compassionate, timeless and straightforward design for eternity! Here’s a fine little guide to Alvar Aalto’s Helsiniki by Port Magazine. |

The details of craftmanship
Lamino by Nudie JeansThere are many collaborations between brands from different creative industries, such as furniture and fashion, but only a few really create a new version of a piece of furniture, which propels it to a new level – a level which makes you look at it from a different point of view and appreciate its qualities even more. That’s “Lamino by Nudie Jeans” to us. |
Patera by Louis PoulsenThe Patera pendant by Øivind Slaatto from Louis Poulsen produces a beautiful light. Each cell of the sphere is carefully designed to capture light and to shield the light source from any viewing angle above 45 degrees. Below 45 degrees, the fields are open to direct light downwards. A small amount of light is also sent upwards to illuminate the ceiling. Each cell of this beautiful design glows. |
