Unfolding Adilo, the latest Secto Design pendant lamp

Secto Design introduces Adilo, a luminaire that marks a bold new chapter in the Finnish company’s thirty-year history. Adilo merges the brand’s signature elements – Finnish birch wood and geometric precision – with an innovative fold-out structure. From its initial flat form, the logistical marvel unfurls into a sculptural pendant lamp in a single motion.

Introducing a new creative perspective

While unmistakably Secto Design in spirit, Adilo brings a new creative perspective to the collection. Designed by Finnish wood artisan and industrial designer Ilkka Kauppinen (b.1988), a graduate of the LAB Institute of Design and Fine Arts, the lamp is the result of years of refinement. Alongside his work designing and crafting unique furniture and bespoke saunas, Kauppinen explored the spatial potential of ultra-thin plywood, ultimately shaping a lamp that evokes the patterns in nature. The design found its natural home with Secto Design, a pioneer in wooden lighting renowned for its inventive use of certified birch.

A must-see in Milan

The extensively design-protected Adilo pendant lamp comes in two sizes. It will make its debut as a prototype at Milan Design Week, showcased at two prestigious locations: Euroluce, the world’s leading lighting exhibition held biennially as part of Salone del Mobile, and LaCividina Showroom, home to the renowned Italian furniture brand in Milan’s Fashion District.

The Milan presentation will also feature other highlights from the Secto Design collection, including the airy Kumulo pendant lamp, winner of the iF Design Award 2025, and he Owalo pendant lamp, now enhanced with entirely new technical features. As with all Secto Design luminaires to date, these pieces are the work of acclaimed architect and designer Seppo Koho (b. 1967).

The Secto Design collection is a must-see in Milan, whether in the dynamic aisles of Euroluce or the historic setting of a Milanese palazzo housing LaCividina Showroom.
