A new international poster competition organised by the Paimio Sanatorium Foundation and Grafia​​​​​​​ will start soon, interpreting Aino and Alvar Aalto’s vision of the human relationship with the environment. We are proud to be involved as a partner! The competition is open for entries from 10 February ­– in the meantime, get to know the jury and read head of jury Ilkka Kärkkäinen’s comments.

Don't miss out on the chance to save 15% on prized Iittala designs by Aino and Alvar Aalto! The iconic items, such as the Aalto vase and Aino Aalto glassware, have gone on to prove they can stand the test of time. Bring home a piece of Finnish design heritage before the offer ends tonight, 3 February.

On this day 125 years ago, Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto was born. What better time to celebrate the architect, designer, and Artek co-founder's profound influence on the Finnish design front! Take a moment to admire the versatile modernist's body of work, which also owes thanks to fellow architects Aino Aalto and Elissa Aalto.
