Finland Pavilion

The Finland Pavilion was dubbed Kirnu – a device used to make butter and milk. It was characterized as a miniature city built by Finns and showcased Finnish nature and society. Finland wanted to build the Finnish pavilion at the Shanghai EXPO 2010 as ecologically as possible. The main planning work for the pavilion was done in Finland, while the Chinese handled the construction in Shanghai. The pavilion featured a large video installation (70 meters × 7½ meters) designed by artist Jaana Partanen and architect Heikki Lamusuo as well as a unique elevator named ‘Lantern’, specially designed by KONE.
