Helsinki-based Secto Design brings compelling Finnish traditions to light in their handcrafted products. The fixtures, designed by architect Seppo Koho, show his affinity for architectonic clarity. True to his credo that “light should softly invite people to come closer,” the illumination radiating through the clean lines of the birch slats composing each fixture delightfully beckons. The company’s products are cut and formed by hand, carrying on a storied tradition set by iconic designers like Alvar Aalto.

The design of the lamps is both classic and contemporary, and the forms of the shades are simple, yet interesting at the same time. Finnish quality and environmental friendliness are among the key values of Secto Design. The lamps are famous for their quality, functionality, timelessness and suitability for a variety of different styles.

Secto Design collection consists of several lamp series that together form a clear and unique appearance of the brand. Behind the demanding craftsmanship there are highly skilled Finnish carpenters. The underlying approach of the lamp collection has remained the same as the collection has grown. The shades are made of laminated birch slats connected by rings of aircraft plywood.

The Owalo 7020 is a sleek table lamp that works really well by the bed as well as on the window sill thanks to its thin frame.

This model is available in 4 versions: natural birch, black laminate, white laminate and walnut veneer. The natural, white and walnut shades come with a frosty white powder painted base, the black version with a matt black powder painted base.
