Yrjö Kukkapuro originally designed the Butterfly lamp in 1968 for his experimental studio house, where it quickly became essential after the ceiling sockets were accidentally forgotten during construction.
Postmodern classic with butterfly wings
Winter’s true burst of color comes in the form of Innolux’s playful Perhonen floor lamp, designed by Yrjö Kukkapuro in 1968. Its name, Finnish for “butterfly”, captures its airy character perfectly.
Perhonen’s butterfly-wing-like shade elements are made from translucent, brightly coloured acrylic and fastened together with screws that are left deliberately visible in true Kukkapuro style. The luminaire's softly tinted light sets a wonderfully gentle mood, perfect for lounging, reading, or simply letting your thoughts wander.

The playful Cake for Two poster charms with its delightful hues.
A slice of joy for your walls
A poster is one of the easiest ways to add personality to your home. Paper Collective’s thoughtfully crafted prints charm with their carefully considered themes, expressive patterns, and lively hues – and best of all, a share of each poster’s proceeds is always donated to a chosen charitable cause. So with every piece, you’re doing something good not only for your home, but for others as well!
The Cake for Two poster brings a shareable slice of cake to the wall, painted by Finnish artist Reeta Laine. Laine’s poster series is painted with dry pastels, whose gentle and slightly unpredictable character allowed the artist to channel her inner child into the works.
