{"title":"Alvar Aalto","description":"\u003cp\u003eRecognised today as one of the great masters of modern architecture, Alvar Aalto (1898 –1976) was born in Kuortane, Finland. During a long and prolific career, Aalto designed buildings for almost all key public institutions, as well as standardised housing and private homes. One of the co-founders of Artek, Aalto left a legacy with lasting resonance. Together with his wife Aino Aalto, he began designing furnishings as a natural extension of their architectural thinking and his first modern furniture design was created in 1929 for the tuberculosis sanatorium in Paimio, Finland. Artek was set up in 1935 to market and sell Alvar and Aino Aalto’s furniture, lighting and textiles, particularly on international markets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough his innovations in form and line, Alvar Aalto’s name has also become important in the history of design. In fact, Aalto first achieved fame in Continental Europe as a furniture designer, and only later as an architect. His contribution to furniture design was among his foremost achievements in its own right. Aalto’s furniture and lighting form the heart of the Artek range.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"pendant-light-a110","title":"Pendant light A110 “Hand Grenade”","description":"\u003cp\u003eModel: Pendant light A110 “Hand Grenade” black\/brass\u003cbr\u003eShade: formed steel black painted, RAL 9004 \u003cbr\u003eRing: steel ring brass-plated polished\u003cbr\u003eCeiling cup: black semi-matt RAL 9004 \u003cbr\u003eCable: black plastic, cable length 2,5 m, 220-240V, 50\/60 Hz DRR - E27 max.12W \u003cbr\u003eDelivered without light bulb\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.artek.fi\/en\/products\/pendant-light-a110-hand-grenade\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct story\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alvar Aalto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44030344036550,"sku":"sp","price":375.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/5960\/7238\/files\/A110_Hand_grenade_Pendant_light_black_brass_web_1440x.progressive_33bc665d-31d9-4fa4-a846-3b6319320930.webp?v=1776366611"},{"product_id":"pendant-light-a330s","title":"Pendant light A330S “Golden Bell“","description":"\u003cp\u003eModel: Pendant light A330S “Golden Bell“\u003cbr\u003eShade\/Ceiling cup: steel, white lacquer\u003cbr\u003eInside: painted white\u003cbr\u003eCable: white plastic cable, length 2,5 m\u003cbr\u003eDelivered without light bulb\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.artek.fi\/en\/products\/pendant-light-a330s-golden-bell\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct story\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alvar Aalto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44030344659142,"sku":"sp","price":375.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/5960\/7238\/files\/A330S_Golden_Bell_pendant_light_white.jpg?v=1725962402"},{"product_id":"floor-light-a811","title":"Floor Light A811","description":"\u003cp\u003eModel:  Floor Lamp A811 polished\u003cbr\u003eSteel shade:  white\u003cbr\u003eBase and stand:  steel, covered with leather\u003cbr\u003eTube:  brass\u003cbr\u003eShade:  hand-spun and hand-riveted louvered steel\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.artek.fi\/en\/products\/floor-light-a811\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct story\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alvar Aalto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44030376247494,"sku":null,"price":1735.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/5960\/7238\/files\/A811_product_brass_polished.jpg?v=1725273814"},{"product_id":"armchair-400-tank","title":"Armchair 400 “Tank“","description":"\u003cp\u003eModel:  Armchair 400\"Tank\" armrests birch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrame: birch, clear lacquer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeat and back: fabric upholstery Vidar 0472\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.artek.fi\/en\/products\/armchair-400-tank\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct story\u003c\/a\u003e: As voluminous as it is comfortable, Armchair 400 was created by Alvar Aalto in 1936 for an exhibition at the Milan Triennale, where it was promptly awarded a prize.
