BAMBU

Artek, the Finnish furniture and lighting company set up in 1938 has always created simplistic, functional and well designed products. One of its founding members was none other than the man mentioned below, Alvar Aalto. Artek still produces Aalto’s classic designs but with Tom Dixon as Creative Director now things are moving on. Last year the company launched their Bambu range. They have kept the same simple, functional style but used laminated bamboo to create a chair, coffee table and dining table. These beauties could work just about anywhere.
