Since 1928 ISKU designs and manufactures furniture and offers services and comprehensive interior solutions based on our customers' needs.

Today, the traditional craftmanship is combined with state-of-the-art technology and bringing latest innovations into furniture design.
ISKU is an active developer of environmentally friendly production and sustainable solutions.

ISKU stands for sustainability. Our furniture design is inspired by Finnish forests, pure raw materials, and environmentally friendly manufacturing methods. For us, quality means reliability, state-of-the art design, professional craftmanship, and carefully selected materials.
ISKU is a leader in Finnish know-how, quality, and industrial innovation in its field. Our goal is to inspire, and to create experiences of success by providing high-quality furniture manufactured in a responsible way.

Visitors will access the Finnish pavilion through a tent-like opening into a ‘gorge’ carved into wood - a special central void of the pavilion that opens to the sky. Within the busy and noisy Expo environment, Finland’s Pavilion offers clarity and serenity. At the 2nd floor Finland Majlis, the peaceful ‘gorge’ is surrounded by an energetic yet harmonious flow of people and Finnish design.
Finland’s closeness to nature is highlighted in the product, material and colour choices at the Majlis. The chosen furniture adapts according to the needs. The workstations and the meeting rooms Rasberry, Blueberry and Cloudberry encourage people to work or meet and greet. Variety of space-within-space solutions provide privacy and spots for independent working and physical distancing. Freely placed MyFlow entities around the Majlis invite to have a chat or just enjoy the flow.
