In This Light – New Finnish lamp design exhibition


'Helsinki Lighthouse' - designed by Timo Salli for Saas Instruments, 2006

 

Design Forum Finland presents a fresh selection of Finnish design lamps and light fittings. The exhibition space provides living room of light, an experience of interior atmosphere created by different types of lamps and sources of light. The showing particularly emphasizes sources of light making use of state-of-the-art technology and the latest materials.

Lighting is of prime importance in conditions of limited daylight. Lamps and light fittings are also important elements of interior design, creating solutions of atmosphere or enhancing the functionality and safety of space. The degree and type of lighting can easily be adapted to personal needs. This is best done by using several lamps of different type in a space. Ecologically minded consumers will choose light sources that can reduce energy consumption.
