Dust layer on a drying asphalt on the first day
of Spring. Dripping rain onto a mirror clear lake
surface on a summer night. Crispy wind on an
orange autumn evening. Cold sunlight on a
freezing winter morning. These are the things
we love. These are things we consider already
in the beginning of our design process.
The family company was founded in 1983 when
the current CEO’s father, Seppo Karjalainen, was
fueling his Saab. In a car next to his was sitting
a product manager of one wholesale. He saw a
unique, pine cone looking garden luminaire in
Seppo’s rear seat and started a conversation.
Seppo told him that he had made the “Käpy”
luminaire himself. The product manager asked
Seppo to visit him the very afternoon. ”How
many of these are you able to produce in one
year?”, he asked in the meeting. The wholesale
bought them all.
A lot have changed during these 30 years –
name, location, raw-materials, light sources. But
still in 2015 our values are the same: traditional
handicraft skills, high quality of products, nature
and domesticity.
///
In all of our decision making we
consider the effects on nature. The
fact that we do co-operation with
small, local entrepreneurs has enabled
our chain of sub-constructors to be
within 2 h driving distance from our
factory in Lahti, Southern Finland. All
of our raw-materials are carefully
hand-picked with the focus on
domesticity and recycled materials. We
honor the traditions by cherishing the
handicraft skills which is why we have
kept the whole production process
from designing to producing and
packaging in our own hands.

“When you make it by hand, you put your
heart in every product.”

TECHNOLOGY
Quality is emphasized in our technical solutions. Each product should have a longlife-span and all technical decisions are made with that in mind. We test alltechnical solutions before submitting them into production.
Certified safety
The FI-certification certifies that a product also fulfills standards or requirementsand directives set by the authorities. The FI-certification is granted only afterrigorous testing, unlike the CE-certification.
High-Quality materials
The materials used in our luminaires define the durability of the products. We usee.g. SLS steel, heat treated Bruce, cold pressed felt and aluminum. High-qualitymaterials guarantee durable structures for the whole life cycle of the product. Inaddition, all steel parts of the luminaires are welded to ensure maximum stiffness.
Installation
All our luminaires are easy to install and maintain, seriously. The adapters areincluded in the prize. You can find installation videos from our website.
