Arttu Brummer (1891 – 1951) was a Finnish interior and glassware designer.
Biography
Brummer set up his own interior design office in 1913. He taught heraldry, composition, and furniture design, at Taideteollinen Korkeakoulu, Helsinki, from 1944-51. He was a designer for the Riihimaki glassworks. In the 1930s, he was editor of Domus, Milan.
Brummer was a conservative counterpart to the functionalism of the 1930s, which in turn was represented by Alvar Aalto, among others. His style was between Art Deco and 1920s Classicism.
