´THE INSPIRATION FOR THE DESIGN CAME FROM
THE MOON AND PLANETS´
Our founder, Heli Mäkiranta, has been working as a interior architect since 2014 when she founded her own design studio. For years, Heli had a secret dream of creating a lighting collection of her own. One day a customer project created the opportunity. Heli was looking for the perfect fixture for a customer and when she couldn’t find one, she decided to design the fixture herself.
" The inspiration for the design came from the northern sky - from the moon and planets. " says Heli Mäkiranta, the founder of QUU Design.
As an interior architect, Heli think lighting as important as every other element of the interior design.
Heli’s contemporary design was soon noticed by other customers too. With all the encouraging feedback, Heli decided to grasp her dream and launched her own lighting brand QUU. In 2018 the story of QUU Design started.
" The brand name QUU was born from the shape of the light. Word QUU is pronounced in Finland the same way as moon. "
THE LIGHT OF YOUR LIFE
QUU Design´s mission is to create future classics - easily recognizable high-quality design lighting that become looked-after valuables that run in the family.
"I had a vision of a brand that never promises too much but always gives you more than you expect. " Says Heli.
QUU Design lights truly are a fantastic example of Finnish craftsmanship working together to light your way.
