Product Story

As part of Artek’s 90th anniversary, the brand collaborates with Marimekko to celebrate the art of printmaking and woodcraft. This limited collection reimagines Alvar Aalto’s iconic birch designs with Maija Isola’s bold Marimekko patterns, Kivet and Seireeni. Using marquetry, the graphic motifs are inlaid into the wood, creating subtle yet striking surfaces with a shimmering effect that comes to life through the interplay of pattern, grain and light. Crafted from sustainably sourced Finnish birch, the collection unites timeless Nordic design with playful expression.
  • The Kivet and Seireeni motif transforms Aalto’s bench, with bold circular marquetry lending depth, rhythm, and character to the classic form.

  • Made from responsibly sourced birch, crafted at Artek’s Turku factory, combining Finnish wood-bending expertise with Marimekko’s printmaking artistry.

  • A versatile design classic, offering seating or display possibilities while introducing a playful yet refined graphic statement to interiors.
