TSTO: Outline Collection

For the Artek’s new stationery collection – designed by TSTO – is an abstract take on the organic outlines of some of Alvar Aalto’s most emblematic products.

Designed by Helsinki-based graphic design studio TSTO and launched at Maison&Objet in Paris, Outline is the latest Artek’s stationery collection.

The graphics are an abstract take on the organic outlines of some of Alvar Aalto’s most emblematic products. The Nordic colour palette ranges across light grey, warm sand – not far from the blond tone of Finnish birch – deep blue and classic black. Carefully crafted details and a selection of beautiful paper qualities – Munken, Olin and Colorplan – make the Outline Collection a pleasant and practical everyday companion.

The collection includes notebooks in two sizes, a memo block, postcards and posters, all available in various colours.

Posters have been central to Artek’s communication since the company was founded 80 years ago, and many have become sought-after collectors’ items.
