IISALMI collection in Myllypuro

In a residential area in Myllypuro, Helsinki, IISALMI benches and table sets have become part of a shared outdoor environment designed for everyday use. With its calm urban character and flexible configurations, the collection fits naturally into the architecture while helping create a welcoming and functional courtyard.

The IISALMI furniture family began with a bench but has since grown into a versatile collection that includes bench configurations, chairs, loungers, table sets, planters, bike racks and other elements for public and shared outdoor spaces. This makes it particularly useful in residential projects, where the same design language can be carried across different functions and areas of the courtyard.

One of IISALMI's strengths is its adaptability. Dimensions can be adjusted to suit the project, while steel frames are available hot-dip galvanised or painted in different colours. Wooden elements can also be finished in a variety of RAL colours. These choices can significantly change the character of the furniture: restrained tones create a calm architectural presence – like here, in Myllymatkantie – while brighter or pastel finishes give IISALMI a more playful expression.

The collection has also been developed with a broad range of users in mind. Accessible table solutions, seating with and without armrests, and a variety of seat heights and configurations make IISALMI comfortable and approachable for people of all ages and abilities. In residential environments, where the courtyard is shared by an entire community, this flexibility is particularly valuable.

In Myllypuro, the benches and table sets show IISALMI in one of its most natural roles: as an urban furniture family that becomes part of the shared life of a residential neighbourhood.
