Artek + Marimekko 60 stool Lokki celebrates Artek's 90th anniversary. Lokki stool is one of three patterns selected from Maija Isola's Arkkitehti series. The pattern is made into the stool's surface using a skillful intarsia technique, which makes the patterns appear to shimmer on the surface of the furniture. The end result is reminiscent of Isola's skill in finding the wonders of nature and the beauty of everyday life. The versatility and minimalist design of the 60 stool, in turn, perfectly complement Marimekko's bold world.

The Artek + Marimekko collaboration includes a wide range of products that are available in limited editions. The collaboration collection brings together Artek's signature wood-bending skills and Marimekko's pattern design. The Artek + Marimekko collection embodies the common characteristics of two iconic Finnish brands: courage and a recognizable, style-true identity that is influenced by architecture, nature and functionalism. All products in the Artek + Marimekko collection have an Artek 90 anniversary sticker and a note about the collaboration.

The Artek 60 stool is a diamond of Finnish furniture design, designed by Alvar Aalto. The beautiful L-shaped stool design will never get old. In addition to being a seat, the three-legged stool can also be used as a side table, for example next to a bed or armchair. It also serves as a spare seat and several stools stack beautifully to form a rotating tower.

In the late 1920s, architect and designer Alvar Aalto began experimenting with wood bending. Together with furniture maker Otto Korhonen, Aalto developed a groundbreaking process that resulted in the L-leg. The iconic leg is created by cutting slits into a piece of wood below the bend, into which wooden slats are glued. Aalto called the L-leg the little sister of the architectural column. Long-standing traditions in furniture production were interrupted when Aalto patented the technique in 1933. The warm, organic wood material was now used to make durable and robust furniture.

Artek - Long-lasting classics

Artek was founded in 1935 to sell and market furniture designed by Alvar Aalto. Artek's founders, Alvar and Aino Aalto, Nils-Gustav Hahl and Maire Gullichsen, published a manifesto written in the spirit of functionalism, according to which Artek's purpose was to "engage in the furniture trade and, through exhibitions and other means, promote modern housing culture."

Artek's original values ​​– durability and high quality combined with a pure design language – are still at the core of the company. Artek's powerhouses Alvar and Aino Aalto created a warm and human style for modern interior design, in which nature was a great source of inspiration. It is the use of natural materials and the tireless search for new technical solutions that have made Artek a company whose values ​​are still relevant today.
