Artek, Helsinki
Artek's new flagship store was opened in a protected building designed by Eliel Saarinen on Helsinki's Keskuskatu.
The aim was to create a space that would best display Artek’s high quality furniture. A tight schedule was the most challenging aspect of the project: demolition works took place over Christmas and the opening was held already in March. The design was carried out in collaboration with the Swedish design office Koncept and Artek’s own visual team. ONE Architects (Part of AINS Group) were responsible for the main and architectural design of the project: https://www.onearchitects.fi/
