The glowing brick
Reminiscent of an ice cube or brick, the Block table lamp exudes a warm, modern atmosphere – and is an absolute classic among luminaires! Designed by Harri Koskinen, the unique Block has been part of the permanent collection of MoMA since 2000, and it decorates the bedside table or open shelf of both young and old design fans.

Sympathetic characters
The small golden Moomin characters playfully brighten up the children's room school desk or the Moomin fan's bookshelf. Skultuna's Moominpappa figurine is part of the Moomin x Skultuna collection, where Tove Jansson's most beloved, adorable Moomin figures have been given an elegant glow: the small sculptures are made of steel and plated with 18-carat gold.
