REB 009 Kaari shelf, 2015
REB 009 Kaari shelf by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for Artek.
The Kaari Collection is the result of the first collaboration between the French designer brothers and Artek. Based on a simple, yet intelligent standard component of a metal loop, Kaari - meaning 'arch' in Finnish - is a collection that comprises rectangular and round tables as well as a desk, a wall console, a wall hook, a small round shelf, and larger shelves.
The principle behind the pieces is simple: the vertical load is supported by a wooden part. Bent steel banding provides elegant and transparent diagonal support. The interplay between the solid vertical board and the metal band gives the base a surprisingly light appearance and creates a distinctive linear silhouette.

Artek was founded in 1935 by four young idealists, Alvar and Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen and Nils-Gustav Hahl.
The business idea of the company was “to sell furniture and to promote a modern culture of habitation by exhibitions and other educational means.” Today Artek is renowned as being one of the most innovative contributors to modern design, building on the heritage of Alvar Aalto. Functionality and timeless aesthetics are the essential elements in the creation of every product that bears the Artek name. Artek’s furniture can be found in various types of spaces; from public spaces to homes, museums to schools and hotels to offices.
