Professional Restoration of Artek Furniture

Artek is an essential part of Finland’s design heritage. Founded in Helsinki in 1935, Artek has preserved its timeless character for more than 90 years. The iconic classics by Alvar and Aino Aalto, as well as furniture designed by other prominent Artek designers, are much more than functional objects to us – they are part of Finnish design and cultural history that we are committed to preserving for future generations.

De Andres Design specializes in the professional restoration and refurbishment of Artek furniture. We have more than ten years of experience in restoring design and vintage furniture. We restore all types of Artek furniture, from small stools, chairs and tables to armchairs, large sofas and more demanding restoration projects.

Our approach to restoration is always based on preserving the original character, materials and valuable patina of each piece. We do not aim to make old furniture look new. Instead, our goal is to restore its structure, functionality and beauty in a way that respects its age and history. Every piece of furniture is individually assessed before any work begins.

Artek refers private customers to us for the restoration of Artek furniture. We also work with auction houses, design retailers, collectors and galleries. In addition, we restore and sell vintage Artek furniture ourselves, giving us extensive knowledge of the structures, materials, finishes and distinctive characteristics of furniture from different periods.

Would you like to know what is required to restore your Artek furniture? You can book a free assessment visit with us or send us photographs of your furniture. Based on the photographs, we can provide a preliminary price estimate and explain which restoration processes we would recommend specifically for your piece.

A well-restored Artek is more than just an old piece of furniture – it is a piece of Finnish design history that can continue its life for decades to come.
