Furniture company founded in Finland in 1935 by Alvar and Aino Aalto, along with Maire Gullichsen and Nils-Gustav Hal.

In 1940, Artek partnered with Clifford Pascoe to manufacture and sell modern furniture in the United States. Their furniture storeroom in New York was called Artek-Pascoe, Inc. Artek-Pascoe supplied furniture for projects such as the Weizenblatt House.
