Artek Helsinki

Unmissable stop during your visit to Helsinki where Artek was stablished. Visit the shop were you can find all of their classic furniture and lighting plus some special editions that you will not find anywhere else. They also stock some design items, Vitra’s products and books on Aalto.

Wonderful place in the city center. You can always find well organised artek furniture here. Good place to stop by for anyone who is interested in design.

It's cool design and display.

Beautiful store but subpar shopping experience. I went in with the intention of purchasing several textile items and the Riihitie planters, and also to look at some pendant lights. Received zero service from the Asian sales assistant (I think she was the only one on the second floor at the time) who walked right past me to help a white Finnish couple who were browsing furniture. I ended up not buying anything here and making my purchases at Vepsäläinen a few days after.

Design furnitures, carpets, fabrics, lights and other small decorative items from Finninsh and International designers. Large selection that changes periodically on display and many known international design items can ce ordered as well with the help of Artek. The store also has small exhibitions related to design troughout the year. There is also smaller store Artek 2nd Cycle nearby that focuses on recycled design furnitures from the past.

My dream to visit was finally done.

The true Finnish design!

Great showroom and shop of Finnish furniture design. Most famous designer is Alvar Aalto who's desings are the highlight of Artek collection. The shop is in center of Helsinki on a building designed by Aalto. This is not a museum but a shop so you can pick things here If you like them. Also just browsing is OK.
