The Itis shopping centre in Helsinki is one of the largest retail destinations in Northern Europe. In the course of upgrading the design of central mall areas, a lighting concept was implemented that strengthens orientation, quality of stay and architectural identity in equal measure.
At the centre is the DIAMOND TUBE daylight system, whose faceted structure of highly reflective, triangular aluminium elements absorbs the incident daylight, refracts it and directs it into the room in multiple ways. This creates a vibrant lighting effect that changes over the course of the day and stages the dome as a sparkling visual centrepiece.
This centralised staging is complemented by PUNTEO-J60 LED downlights, which set precise accents in the dome crown. With high glare control and homogeneous light distribution, they provide targeted illumination even in darkness and in the absence of daylight and support the architectural form without pushing it into the foreground.
In the surrounding ceiling area, the LUMEO panel luminaire system is used as a curved customised solution. The homogeneous light distribution of the surface light creates uniform ambient lighting and follows the architectural lines. The result is a clear, calm ceiling image that deliberately emphasises the dome as a lively centrepiece.
The interplay of these three systems creates a differentiated lighting landscape that forms the central orientation point of the mall, intuitively guiding visitors and inviting them to linger.
The project thus combines functional requirements with a concise design statement and turns the dome in the Itis into an unmistakable experience space.
