(Savonlinna,
Finland 1977) studied art and industrial
design at the University
of Helsinki and the Escola Elisava
in Barcelona. His PAISTE
lamp was originally created for
REHTI, a collective of young
designers in Helsinki, of which
Sami is a distinguished member.
In finnish, REHTI means honesty,
a moral principle that the finnish
school of design has traditionally
applied and materialized
into aesthetic form.
