2015 marks the 80th anniversary of Artek, the Finnish furniture company founded by four young idealists, Alvar and Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen and Nils-Gustav Hahl, in the context of the still-young international modernist movement. A platform for modern art, industry, interior design and propaganda, the company’s self-described purpose was ‘to sell furniture and to promote a modern culture of living by exhibitions and other educational means.’ Eighty years after its creation, and in the radical spirit of its founders, Artek is investing in material research, in the development of systems and standards, and in sustainable design.

During the Triennial, they will show the results of two workshops: ‘Create your own lamp with cheap materials’ (led by the artist Laurie Marcelet) and ‘Eco-design furniture’ (led by Kalbut Design).
