Martela

About Us

Martela is a family business founded in 1945.

We design and manufacture user-driven workplaces and learning environments where different kinds of spaces support individual ways of working and learning. We believe that an inspiring environment increases the joy of work, comfort, wellbeing and productivity.

Throughout our existence we have undergone a transformation from being a furniture manufacturer to becoming a partner for developing workplaces and learning environments. Our range of products and services covers the entire lifecycle of a customer’s premises, from defining needs to optimisation during use.

Our aim is to offer our customers the best quality and service in the industry. The workspaces and learning environments designed by Martela will remain fresh and functional for many years to come.

At Martela we work for happy Mondays.

For us, it is important that people find joy in their work. Bringing joy to work is also the starting point for our design process.

The goal of our design is to find answers to organisations’ latent and future needs. We are constantly studying working environments and new ways of working. What an organisation might need today might be useless tomorrow.

We design with the end user in mind.

Our design process is characterised by working together, leaning on data and preparing for change. We focus on value creation for our customers and the environment. We create solutions which are easy to understand and use. Solutions which are long-lasting both in appearance and quality, and which are aimed at bringing people, space and information together, to create even greater collaboration, wellbeing and productivity.

Our values

Martela promotes enjoyable work, wellbeing and productivity.
We design and produce inspiring workplaces and learning environments where even Mondays are a joy.

A well-functioning workplace and learning environment is built based on needs and tasks. Instead of just one workstation each, we offer employees and students several custom-made spaces for different requirements: collaboration, concentration, interaction and recreation.

The environment, responsibility and sustainable choices are at the heart of what we do. Our perspective is a generation, not a quarter. Our durable and timeless products are built to last from user to user.

Our values are everywhere

Together - Respect and trust for one another are at the heart of our culture. Diversity and learning from one another are our strengths. Together we will succeed and make it happen.

Boldly - Visionary thinking has always driven us forward. It inspires us to be curious and innovative. We are the forerunner in creating better working and learning environments.

Listening - Listening is the key to understanding our customers’ needs. Our solutions are built on data and customer insights. This is how we make the difference and create a world-class customer experience.

Caring - We are committed to sustainability in everything we do. Our solutions support ecological choices and the circular economy. Together we will create a brighter future.
