Lighting project in Helsinki Baana

Baana was a temporary but very inspiring project, the likes of which it would be nice to see more of in the dark Finnish autumn. Our cooperation partners in the project were the City of Helsinki, the Illuminating Engineering Society of Finland, Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, and numerous lighting experts and suppliers. Lighting designer Tarja Ervasti was the prime designer.The project presented Sweco designers with the opportunity to test elegant and visually daring solutions.

The project presented Sweco designers with the opportunity to test elegant and visually daring solutions.The Valopeitto (blanket of light) light artwork on Jaakonkatu bridge was erected according to plan with the help of the Metropolia students. The models of the bridges and the locations of the various lighting elements made the installation easy. Various light set-ups were programmed in advance and the project was completed on time. The end result looked exactly as planned and the entire team was satisfied. The lighting project received very positive feedback from the public. We are expecting this magnificent lighting project to be continued.

Philips cooperated with Sweco on Valopeitto by providing the project with lighting equipment.
