My life is my home.
Home to life’s stories.
MY HOME. Returning home always relaxes. It is where our privacy and our community’s values reside. Everyday beauty comes from the relations between the objects in our home. Our taste and sense of style develop during the journey of our lives. Let our homes show our adventures and learning years in interior design. Good design makes our everyday functional and aesthetically pleasing. The eras and values build bridges to our cultural heritage, international styles, and responsible consumption. Time’s patina is important to our lives. There is no need to clean away the familiar and safe but instead build our own home around and within it.

Home decoration is not serious business. Let the layers and eras shine through. Make bold combinations to create surprising contrasts. Instead of becoming a mere façade this recipe let’s the home be the stage for the everyday and celebrations alike, full of the taste of life. Trends come and go, but quality lasts through the decades.
Authenticity is a value. Artek’s 2nd Cycle concept extends the life of objects, and the Artek 2nd Cycle store in the centre of Helsinki offers a wide range of second hand design classics also through webshop: www.artek.fi/2ndcycle. Age is a sign of true quality.

Classic chairs are a combination of several factors. They represent the design of their time, and they withstand use and looks through time. Combine objects of different eras courageously, and let the marks of age show. The international and broad range of Artek offers options for all tastes and preferences.
