As part of its 90th anniversary festivities, Finnish design company Artek has joined forces with Marimekko for a limited-edition collection of Aalto furniture that merges Marimekko’s art of printmaking and Artek’s technology of wood bending.

The simplicity of Artek’s furniture design and the versatility of its function align perfectly with Marimekko’s bold and joyful essence, as some of the most iconic Marimekko prints by Maija Isola meet the purity of Alvar Aalto’s Stool 60, Table 90D and Bench 153B.

The Lokki, Kivet and Seireeni patterns are realized using marquetry on a birch veneer surface. This subtle yet striking application translates the vibrant shapes of Maija Isola’s designs into contrasting wood grains to create a shimmering effect.
