2017

The Iisalmi municipality acquired in spring 2017 percent-for-art for the near-complete Kangaslampi and Kauppis-Heikki schools by means of an art sketch contest. The percent-for-art team decided to select four artists/working pairs for the drafting stage, and Partanen & Lamusuo was one of those selected. Partanen & Lamusuo participated in the contest with its proposal LumPeikko (SnoGoblin). The artwork was designed to decorate the wall of the lunchroom of the soon-to-be-completed Kangaslampi school. However, LumPeikko was not selected. The honour for winning the contest went to two other artists.

LumPeikko is no fellow or goblin, but the very own artwork of the Lumme (Water-lily) hall. It is made of plastic and of quite something else. In any case, it glitters on the wall like summer waves in the lake. Although there is only one LumPeikko in the world, it looks quite different in cloudy weather and in summer sunshine, because its surface is almost entirely metal leaf and nuggets of 23-carat gold. LumPeikko has grown in caring hands, plenty of caresses and cuddles has it received, with a soft cloth has LumPeikko been cleaned and washed, dried and polished.

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.
