The Crafted Through Time collection by Artek introduces re-editions and new finishes of Alvar Aalto's most iconic designs.

Creating a well-designed home is an art, one that involves building depth and character through thoughtfully layered spaces. Not only should objects and furniture complement each other visually, but they should have a story and a personal connection to transform a house into a home that feels special and original. This philosophy of design is something Alvar Aalto understood deeply, as reflected in both his studio and home. Continuing this legacy, Artek has launched the Crafted Through Time series, a collection that introduces special re-editions, reinterpretations, and classic designs that add a distinct, layered character to any space.
