Adaptable furniture lives with the space
The gently inviting seating areas, or the Islands of Matkus, were furnished with Palad’s organic, softly curved furniture designed for public spaces, which can withstand use year after year. At the heart of the Islands is the Palad TUMA™ furniture, which effortlessly adapts to the different needs of the space and makes it truly multi-purpose. Timeless and harmonious tones were chosen for the furniture, where shades of gray and green balance each other.
TUMA furniture can be easily moved, which enables the space to be fully adapted to different events and needs. Thanks to the furniture, the Islands of Matkus can live and change constantly. Today the space is a peaceful oasis, tomorrow a dynamic event area, and next week an inspiring space for an author visit or a product presentation.
The versatility of the large island on the first floor is enhanced by the custom-made Benches of Matkus, designed by Partanen & Lamusuo and handcrafted by Puusepänliike Heikkinen. It is an iconic meeting place that attracts playful climbing and peaceful relaxation.
During the shopping center’s events, the Benches of Matkus come alive as a place where shops, guests, and the public meet in an intimate and relaxed environment. The tiered levels of the platforms create a perfect grandstand or act as a fascinating stage.
At the heart of the Matkus Islands are Palad TUMA™ furniture pieces, which effortlessly adapt to different needs, making the space truly multifunctional: today, the area is a peaceful oasis, tomorrow it becomes a dynamic event space, and next week, it transforms into an inspiring setting for a writer’s visit or a product presentation.
