Abstract

Valco (1976-1980) was a state-owned company that manufactured cathode ray tubes for the television industry. The company's scandalous failure has been widely identified as one of the largest investment errors in Finland's economic history. This book is the first in-depth study of the roots, events, and consequences of that project. This study analyses Valco from a microhistorical perspective, looking at the numerous factors that led to its failure, from the company's founding process to investigations after its demise. These events are linked to broader phenomena in economic and business history, such as the changing economic policy of the government and the emergence of global supply chains in the electronics industry. Valco is a significant single case with a concrete impact on Finland's economic history. First, it changed the general perception of state-owned companies and, because of this, also more general perceptions of the role of the state in the economy. As a result, the initiative to develop the electronics industry was transferred to private companies such as Nokia. Second, Valco's case revealed the problems of state ownership of companies in a very concrete way. Due to Valco's failure, the objectives of state ownership were clarified, and the corporate governance system was modernised. In this way, Valco is linked to the modernization of Finnish state capitalism from the 1970s onwards.

Abstract

The Finnish design firm Artek is best known as the producer and distributor of Modernist bentwood furniture designed by Alvar Aalto (1898-1976). However, its mission was more complex and multifaceted, grounded in the notion that art and design could enhance everyday life. Artek and the Aaltos showcases more than three hundred objects, including furniture, glassware, lighting, design sketches, drawings, textile swatches, and photographs. Most of the material is published here for the first time. It contextualizes the contributions of Artek, and those of its founders, Alvar and his wife, Aino Marsio Aalto (1894-1949), providing evidence for their close professional partnership as well as critical interpretations of their major projects. It also considers individuals such as Maija Heikenheimo, whose career at Artek spanned three decades. In addition, this book examines the Aaltos' advocacy for the use of standardized forms and shows how modern designers continue to work with the Artek product line and within the parameters of the company's mission.0Fully indexed appendices present new scholarship, including an inventory of the Artek product line (furniture, textiles, and glass), and a list of public and private commissions. This book is the first English-language publication on the topic, as well as the most comprehensive, with chapters authored by leading scholars of design history and architecture.

Abstract

Etude récemment révisée et élargie de la société de design finlandaise de renommée mondiale ArtekBest, connue pour la production des célèbres meubles en bois courbé d'Aalto. Artek était une société de design aux multiples facettes qui a créé de nombreux produits innovants. Ce livre abondamment illustré est basé sur une gamme extraordinaire de documents d'archives récemment découverts qui jettent un nouvel éclairage sur l'histoire d'Artek. Il examine les relations de travail étroites entre Alvar Aalto et Aino Marsio-Aalto, et les rôles essentiels qu'ils ont joués dans sa création et son développement à l'échelle internationale. Réédité en couverture rigide et avec une taille de coupe agrandie, une plus grande importance est accordée aux plus de 500 dessins et photographies, y compris une sélection inédite. L'ajout d'une chronologie qui retrace l'histoire parallèle d'Artek et du bureau Aalto offre une compréhension inédite des nombreux projets qu'ils ont créés ensemble. Le texte original a reçu le prix Philip Johnson 2018 du catalogue d'exposition exceptionnel de la Society of Architectural Historians.
