Savonlinna · StudioAtelier N° 01 · Est. by commission
AIHIO.ART
Bespoke sculptural lighting, conceived one piece at a time for individual interiors.
Every project begins with a conversation about a specific room and ends with a single object built for that room alone — never from a catalogue, never alongside another.
3D-printed form · Hand-finished surface · High-CRI LEDs · ~6 week lead
The studio
ONE·PIECE
AT·A·TIME
AIHIO operates as a founder-led atelier. No showroom. No distribution. No catalogue. Each project begins with a conversation and ends with a single object, built for the room it was imagined in.
Built around the interior
Every piece is sized, proportioned, and surfaced for the specific wall, ceiling height, and use-case it will inhabit. We work from photographs and dimensions of the actual room.
3D-print plus hand finish
The structural body is 3D-printed in Finland, then hand-finished in the studio — plaster, lacquer, pigment, or metal leaf. The result reads as art object before it reads as light.
Light that respects the room
Integrated high-CRI LEDs (CRI > 96) on a 2700 K – 4000 K range, paired with a universal 110 – 240 V driver. Tunable to the architecture and the way the room is actually used.
Collaborated, not installed
AIHIO works alongside interior designers, architects, and developers from moodboard through installation support — a maker present in the conversation, not a vendor at the end.
The maker’s approach
One hand. One room. One maker.
AIHIO is run by a single maker. From the first sketch and the 3D modelling in the studio, through printing, hand-finishing, electronic integration and the final QA in the dark room — every step happens here, in the same hand.
There is no production line and no subcontracted finishing. A piece is conceived individually, printed on the studio’s own printer, sanded, lacquered or gilded by hand, fitted with its LED module, then tested in a darkened environment before it is ever packed for delivery.

Quiet numbers. Loud objects.
The technical specification is consistent across every commission; what changes, entirely, is the form.

Where AIHIO works
Four kinds of room, one kind of work.
Hotel lobbies & signature suites
Sculptural focal points for arrivals, restaurants, and the suites a guest remembers. Specified with the design team and the operator.
Statement dining rooms
Lighting that frames rather than floods — sized, dimmed, and tuned to the room, the table, and the architecture.
Exhibition & permanent collections
Objects curated as deliberately as the work around them. UV-aware, low-glare, and conversation-ready with a curator.
Curated private interiors
Built around a particular wall, a particular corner, a particular way a client lives. Always one piece; never from a catalogue.
A commission begins
Tell us about the room.
Send a few photographs, the dimensions, and a sentence about what the piece should do in the space. The studio replies personally, usually within a few working days. Initial conversations are at no charge.
