Piano Pavilion is the pearl of Lahti harbour

Located on the shore of Lahti’s Vesijärvi, at the city of Lahti, Finland, the wooden Piano Pavilion is the perfect place to enjoy coffee, arts and the landscape. Construction of this beautiful culture café was completed in June 2008, with builders aiming to use new environmentally friendly materials in the café’s structures. UPM ProFi Deck patio plank was chosen as the decking material. In tune with the architect’s wishes, UPM created a new specialty decking colour, Marble White, for the project.
