Lens Embracing the Dawn

starting at €90.00

The rings of the lighthouse lens have been polished with millimeter precision and the supporting structures have been crafted with solid professional skill. The whole thing looks like a sculpture or a giant piece of jewelry. When the first rays of morning light reach the top of the tower and the lantern room, the smooth glass sparkles like a diamond and the brass seems like rose gold. The sunrise completes the work of art with its warm glow.

The rings of the lighthouse lens have been polished with millimeter precision and the supporting structures have been crafted with solid professional skill. The whole thing looks like a sculpture or a giant piece of jewelry. When the first rays of morning light reach the top of the tower and the lantern room, the smooth glass sparkles like a diamond and the brass seems like rose gold. The sunrise completes the work of art with its warm glow.

The lighthouse stands at the edge of the world. Smoothly worn steps lead up to the lantern room. From there, you can see the shadows of the clouds reflected in the sea—and the small world of the lighthouse island. Starting in the 1950s, lighthouses began to be left without keepers or even became completely obsolete. It was not until around the turn of the millennium that the cultural and architectural value of these navigational aids, abandoned to the mercy of the weather and vandalism, began to be understood, and efforts were made to save them. Everyone who has helped save even one of our lighthouses has given a gift to all Finns.
