Palkki


Palkki, with its clean-cut design, is an outdoor light that is meant mainly for public space. Its shape is architectural. It works well in parks and lining thoroughfares as it doubles as a seat. It is big enough to offer seating for two persons. The light source is in the underside of the light behind a security glass. This way it is protected from vandalism.

The light source is 12 pieces of 1W power LED lights.



 

Pino


Pino is a simplistic drinking vessel. The foot of the vessel is designed to enable stacking. The vessel placed on top sinks slightly into the glass underneath, leaving enough space for drinks to be poured, prepared and served in a pyramid shape.
 


 

Moni


‘Moni’ is made out of vertical - and horizontal pipes. The vertical pipes have holes all over in different heights, which allows for different ensembles to be created.



 

Varjo


Varjo is a mould blown and cold cut drinking glass.
The thinness of the glass makes it very comfortable to drink from. The lower rim of the glass flows beautifully in to the narrow bottom and makes the glass appear as if it is floating.
