Company background
Cariitti is a Finnish family business founded by Kari Ruokonen in 1998 and owned now by his son Peter Ruokonen. The name and story of Cariitti originate from its founder's first name and the three Graces of Greek mythology, the Charites, who brought glory, joy and prosperity to people.
Main products and services As the name implies, Cariitti wants to bring light and comfort to premises. The selection includes versatile lighting solutions for wellness facilities including sauna, hammam, bathroom, spa and pool areas. The company manufactures luminaires and also a line of sauna benches and dressing room furniture at the company’s own factory in Finland. The goal is to offer high-quality products that will last long thanks to both their quality and timeless design.
The product range includes light spots, indirect linear lighting and lighting sets made with fibre optic and LED technology: optical glass fibres for sauna ceiling lighting, LED lighting for sauna benches; optical plastic fibres and LED lighting for spas, hammams, bathrooms and pools. The standard lighting sets can be accessorized with decorative light fittings, and customers can have lighting solutions modified or completely custom-made to fit their individual needs.
The company has been awarded the Finnish Key Flag symbol, which demonstrates that the products are manufactured in Finland.
Our principle has always been that lighting is not just about the amount of light, but also about creating an atmosphere. We help our customers to build a comfortable and harmonious space where both the eye and the mind rest. The mind and body relax in wellness facilities, and Cariitti provides a framework for this with a harmonious and properly designed lighting.

What the clients say
"One of the most important features of Cariitti is quality. At Limassol DelMar we used Cariitti lighting and Taive sauna interior. The design and quality matched the concept and our client is very satisfied. We definitely recommend and continue using Cariitti products."
