Artek + Marimekko Collection Launch
The exhibition is located at the Artek Helsinki store. There are ramps on the entrance stairs, allowing access with a stroller or wheelchair when accompanied by an assistant. Visitors using a wheelchair can also call the store at +358 10 617 3480 and request our staff to open the side door, which provides easier access to the store. All floors of the store are accessible by elevator.
Artek + Marimekko is a collaborative collection from two icons of Finnish design. Merging the art of printmaking with the technology of wood bending, the products bring together the patterns of Marimekko designer Maija Isola with Alvar Aalto’s furniture designs crafted from Finnish birch.
The exhibition is created together with Finnish designer Linda Bergroth, presenting the products in a setting that reflects Artek’s poetic simplicity and Marimekko’s bold and joyful essence. The beauty of these products comes to life through the interaction between light, pattern and wood.
