Alvar Aalto manufactures mark question  

.

Thanks Tom Ado, I'm looking for more indepth info
Thanks, what I'm really on about is, is this mark early artek? what is the finmar connection & are there any other factories making Aalto designs?
Thanks!

Is this a
question for Mark ? Mark, are you there ? What's the question, Mark ?

Yep..I'm here, but clueless..as usual.
I can only vouch for most any cheap-ass wood piece built in a garage by a horny old man.
Cheerio to all!

the more I look, the more I'm in the dark!
After trawling through all my design books, turned to my Miller's 2010-2011, on page 596 there is a chair by Aalto model 31 with same stamp as my table, but has the Finmar ltd tag
It says it's manufactured by "OY.ﾠ HUONEKALUJAﾠ RAKENNUSTYOTEHDASﾠ AB"
One of my scandinavian design books says finmar is a subsidiary of Artek ?
Anyone know the connection between Artek / finmar / OY.ﾠ HUONEKALUJAﾠ RAKENNUSTYOTEHDASﾠ AB,ﾠ TURKU,ﾠ FINLAND?
Thanks

Artek and huonekalu- ja rakennustehdas
You asked about the connection of Oy Huonekalu- ja rakennustyötehdas AB and Artek.
Oy Huonekalu- ja Rakennustyötehdas AB (later Huonekalutehdas Korhonen) is the factory that produced (and still does) Aalto furniture in Turku, Finland. A subcontractor for Artek.
Artek was founded to promote and sell Alvar and Aino Aalto designed products. They don't have any production of their own, but everything is outsourced.
Finmar was the English importer for Aalto furniture.
