Everything from wood
Lahti is known as a city of carpenters, and their organisation, Pro Puu ry, has established nice offices, a gallery, shop and workspaces near Sibelius Hall next to the lake.

The gallery hosts monthly exhibitions and theme varies quite a lot, but it is always related to wood in some manner.
The shop sells Finnish wood craft, and the staff is always ready to answer your questions about various items. There are also a few carpenters working on the workshops in the back of the house, and they may can give more thorough explanations about certain techniques or crafts.
