Innolux

Innolux is a Finnish lighting manufacturer founded in 1993 in Helsinki, established with the aim of preserving, producing, and reintroducing classic Finnish lighting design while also supporting contemporary designers. The company plays an important role in maintaining Finland’s strong lighting design heritage, which emphasizes functionality, atmosphere, and a deep understanding of light in Nordic living environments.

Innolux is especially known for producing licensed re-editions of historic Finnish lamps from the 1930s to the 1960s, many of which were originally designed for public buildings, homes, and institutions. Among the most significant designers represented are Paavo Tynell, Alvar Aalto, Lisa Johansson-Pape, and Yki Nummi. Iconic designs include Paavo Tynell’s 9602 floor lamp, 5321 table lamp, and snowflake-inspired brass pendants, as well as Yki Nummi’s Lokki (Seagull) pendant, a landmark example of modern acrylic lighting.

Innolux lighting is characterized by a careful balance between technical precision and warm, atmospheric light. Materials such as brass, steel, aluminum, glass, and acrylic are used with great attention to detail, often combining soft diffused light with elegant, lightweight forms. The company’s production reflects Finnish modernist values: clarity of form, human-centered design, and durability.
