Coffee house lighting brings joy in the middle of the city<\/h1>\n

Paulig Kulma is a refreshing meeting place that was recently opened at the Kluuvi shopping centre in Helsinki. The two-floor coffee house has room for meetings, working or just relaxing while observing the bustle of the city. The coffee house premises feature a roastery, a caf\u00e9 and an institute for training baristas. The coffee house premises were designed by the designers of Bond Creative Agency, who teamed up with Sweco\u2019s lighting experts to create a boldly unique lighting scheme.<\/p>\n

To Sweco\u2019s lighting designers, lighting is an essential part of our living environment. Designer\u00a0Aleksi Hautam\u00e4ki<\/b>\u00a0of Bond and his team have a history of designing visual looks for restaurants and caf\u00e9s. To him, the materials used and a simplified aesthetic approach play a key role. In the Kulma premises, light wood, copper and graphical elements are skilfully combined, and the lighting creates just the right kind of atmosphere for the different spaces.<\/p>\n

On the first floor of the coffee house, you can choose between two different and innovative spaces for your coffee moment. During a quick and casual visit, you can sit in a chair hanging from the ceiling and watch the bustle of the city, but if you wish to have a more intimate conversation, the so-called mini cabinets are definitely the best choice.<\/p>\n

The lighting of Kulma has been clearly divided into decorative and functional lights. The design of the decorative lights contributes to the visual look of the concept, and they create atmosphere in the premises. The functional lights, on the other hand, can be used to adjust the general lighting in accordance with the time of day. In the mini cabinets, customers can adjust the lighting to suit their needs. Additionally, the facade of Kulma, i.e. the inner surfaces of the window frames, features programmable RGB LED lights, which enable the addition of different themes to the premises by using colours and animation. Sweco\u2019s expertise proved invaluable, particularly when designing the controls and the programmability.<\/p>\n

“The windows on the two floors provide light during daytime, but in the evening, the lights are nice for creating various atmospheres. Our customers want new kinds of experiences and pleasant coffee moments. The wonderful staff of Paulig Kulma completes the atmosphere.”<\/div>\n

“Lighting plays an important role in terms of both functionality and aesthetics. It was inspiring to carry out lighting design work together with people to whom lighting is a significant part of the design of the premises. We brainstormed and implemented our bold solutions in close collaboration with the designers of Bond.”<\/div>\n
