FINOM Story

FINOM Lights originate in designer Esa Vesmanen’s desire to create an unmatched and evocative light fixture that appreciates wood in a new way. While the usual design process starts from the drawing board, Esa started studying the raw material itself. Finnish birch offers durability, sheerness and flexibility owing to harsh Finnish winters and full midnight sun summers.

Esa created a form that is simultaneously lively, springy and still completely faithful to the exquisite qualities of wood. By trial and error, Esa found the shape of FINOM Lights, a fixture that creates warm, tender light in a delicate but durable form.

In order to take this exclusive creation out to the world, he collaborated with his brother Jukka Vesmanen to start the production of the FINOM Lights. Ever since, the brothers have been on a mission to make FINOM Lights known to the world.

FINOM Lights uses hand-selected Finnish birch and skillful carpenters to create an individual light to cater to the most demanding needs.

Enjoy beautiful, clean and timeless design and a piece of Nordic nature at your home with FINOM Lights.
FINOM lifestyle

More and more people prefer to spend time alone or with their loved ones at home on their days off, because of hectic job demands. We all have a strong desire to secure time for ourselves.

FINOM, a good product

FINOM is high quality design, light from the high North of Finland. Our FINOM lights have a minimalistic, crisp and clear style of their own - a style not seen in any other lights. FINOM lights are hand made in Finland and every shade is unique.

Our lights are produced from durable aircraft plywood that lasts for decades. Should you like to store them away temporarily, they will only take up a small amount of shelf space. We also believe that their value will remain over time should you choose to sell your FINOM at some point.

Interior designers and architects alike have found FINOM lights to work well both in homes and public spaces. Our lights can be used to create a calm and pleasant atmosphere. From the sides, the light flows through the thin wood of the shade, which gives it a golden colour. At the same time, it provides an effective working light onto the table surface below.

Original FINOM lights provide you with Scandinavian design at its best, unique high quality products for a reasonable price.
