Item No. ：POST066
Designer：Ben af Schultén
Maker：Artek
Size ：732mm x 732mm x 28mm
A variation of the poster designed by Ben af Schultén to mark Artek’s 40th anniversary. In this version, the “1935 1975” shown on the 1975 edition has been replaced with “ALVAR AALTO.”
This “ALVAR AALTO” version was also exhibited in the Alvar Aalto exhibition held at the Centre Pompidou in 1979, and is therefore thought to have been produced sometime after 1975 and before 1985, the year of Artek’s 50th anniversary.
Silkscreen print.
Shows roll creases. Newly framed in ash. Includes a storage box and cloth sleeve.
Ben af Schultén studied interior design at the School of Arts and Design in Helsinki and joined Artek in 1964. His work ranged widely across furniture and lighting design, interiors, exhibitions, and graphic design, including posters for Artek and Galerie Artek. From 1976 to 2004, he served as Artek’s art director.
At Artek, he was involved not only in developing new designs that complemented the Alvar Aalto collection, but also in creating variations on existing models, playing an important role in shaping both the company’s product range and its brand identity.
