Physical event

Artek and International Club invite you to an Evening @ Artek! Come and join us to this inspiring event with fellow Helsingin Ekonomit members.

Artek was founded in 1935 - the same year as Helsingin Ekonomit was founded, too -  "to sell furniture and promote a modern culture of living by exhibitions and other educational means". Today, Artek is part of Vitra, a Swiss company dedicated to improving the quality of homes, offices and public spaces through the power of design.

In the event we will first hear a brief company presentation on the history of Artek and then take a current outlook on the company as part of global Vitra organization.

Then Tim Reusch, the Head of Consulting and Planning at Vitra, will give an inspiring perspective on how the use of workspace has changed in the recent years, just as many of us have witnessed firsthand. He will also share his views on the hot topic of new workplace. Since the pandemic and the lockdown experience, we have abandoned "old habits" and are more aware of our needs. But what are the needs of your employees, and what are the needs of your organization?
