In this thesis I am going to examine the work and design attitude of Alvar Aalto, a Finnish company, the Artek. Before the inspection of the Scandinavian areas, the European trends and their impact are presented in my thesis. After summarizing the history of the Finnish designer and the company, I analyse the functionalist design attitude and the autonomous design characteristics through specific products and furniture. The aim of my thesis is to organize the thoughts and to examine the methodology of the design.
