Lumi Friends

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the Lumi World! In this section we'd like to take you behind the scenes and tell you more about our first female-inspired outdoor instrument, Suunto Lumi. We'll share with you how the concepts and designs for Suunto Lumi were born by interviewing its designer, Elizabeth Salonen. We'll also show you how the first images of Suunto Lumi where shot, back in spring 2007 in Austria. You can read the story of the photo shoot as told by the photographer, Ulrich Grill, and watch its highlights on the Lumi photo shoot video.

Enjoy the Lumi World!

Did you know that in Finnish Lumi means snow?

It is a very suitable name for the first female outdoor instrument - snow sparkles, glitters, gleams and is pure luminescence. It is also representing the outdoors, with its white softness and icy edge, suitable for so many different outdoor activities from toboggan rides to backcountry skiing. And, for many of us, snow reminds us of happy childhoods and leisurely vacations, of dark winter evenings with a cozy fire burning.
