Laituri bench

Laituri bench was designed to complement the main lobby of Kuopio Airport in Rissala. The metal frames of the existing benches got a new lease on life when the airport was renovated. The seat and back are made of solid wood that is pressure treated with water to bring out the natural grain of wood and stained gray after the treatment. The idea behind the design is to create an image of weathered pier overlooking magnificent views of Kallavesi.

Laituri benches can be found in the following locations designed by Partanen & Lamusuo: The Signs of Life and Rissala Airport.

We think that adaptability is more important than flexibility when it comes to creative collaboration.
The ability to tell the same story, even if the amount of pages in the book would change. With the experience of hundreds of both small and large projects, we can deduce that even though we are very proud of what we have accomplished, the merit for our best work goes to our clients. They have shared our point of view, that we can succeed only because we share the same vision and dream. We design spaces, buildings and environments that are comfortable to live and work in, pleasant to the eye and sustainable. We are a creative design and architecture office, we want to create an inclusive world all around us - Piece by Piece.
