The furniture donation from the Allan and Bo Hjelt Art Foundation made it possible to create Artek's 1940s interior for the Alvar Aalto Museum's permanent exhibition.

The donation includes two safari chairs and two upholstered dining room chairs that were exclusively designed for Allan Hjelt’s official residence as one of the first major private commissions received by Artek, a renowned Finnish furniture company founded in 1935.

The Hjelt interior will be on display until the end of 2020.
