AICCI – Lighting with purpose, vision and quality

At AICCI, we design and build light that serves its purpose with clarity, precision and long‑term value. Our work combines a deep understanding of light, industrial production, careful craftsmanship and a Nordic sense of calm and focus. Every AICCI product is designed and manufactured in Muurame, Finland.

Our story

AICCI® was founded in 2006 by Sauli Koukkari, whose background lies in developing solutions for demanding industrial environments — including process industries, metal engineering, pulp and paper production and the natural gas sector. In these fields, reliability, precision and controlled performance are essential.

This experience shaped AICCI’s approach to light: seeing it as a technical material that can be guided, shaped and used with purpose.

From the beginning, the company grew through projects requiring customised light and high technical performance. Today, AICCI solutions are used across Finland and in more than 50 countries worldwide.

In 2016, interior architect Päivi Charpentier joined the company’s work as a partner. This collaboration expanded AICCI’s direction and led to the creation of the AICCI Collection — strengthening the way technical clarity, refined appearance and a distinct Nordic identity come together in lighting.

Light is more than a visual element

We see light as more than a visual element. It is a functional material that shapes human experience, supports performance and interacts with space, technology and materials.

Our work spans architectural, interior, urban and technical environments — from buildings to public spaces, green areas, infrastructure and industrial contexts. We design lighting for pathways, streets, parks and specialised environments such as pedestrian tunnels and integrated public structures.

Many of these projects involve customised solutions, including bollard luminaires, street lighting, tunnel fixtures and light-integrated elements. In some cases, the “user” of light is not only a person, but also a process, a system or a living species.

This perspective gives us a deep understanding of what light needs to achieve — and how it behaves in real conditions.

A nordic perspective on light

We come from the land of the Northern Lights, the midnight sun and the polar night. Here, light shapes mood, rhythm, clarity and focus throughout the year.

This understanding guides our work. We design lighting that is comfortable, balanced and adaptable — supporting both visual needs and overall well-being while meeting demanding technical requirements.

Our commitment

We design and build light with care, responsibility and a long‑term view. Every AICCI product is made in Finland with high‑quality materials and precise craftsmanship. We believe light should last — in function, in appearance and in meaning.

We create light for the future: light that performs reliably, endures in form and supports both people and the environment.
