Lighting

The lighting designs by Yrjö Kukkapuro feature familiar elements of his design language, such as exposed components, bright colors, and a minimalist yet playful form.

The Perhonen floor lamp, originally designed in 1968 for Kukkapuro’s experimental studio house, was born out of necessity when ceiling sockets were accidentally left out. It took its final commercial form in the 1980s, embracing the colors and shapes of the postmodern wave that flooded design at the time.

A more recent creation is the 340Y table lamp, inspired by stadium lights. True to Kukkapuro’s signature style, its structure openly showcases every detail. The 340Y table lamp is made from clear acrylic, aluminum, and concrete.
