- 14.6.2025–31.12.2025
Lusto’s collection features over 40 chainsaws from more than 45 manufacturers, representing a century of technological progress, diversity, and even surprising design.
Chainsaws have been vital tools in Finnish forestry since the 1940s, evolving into versatile equipment for both professional use and daily life. Lusto’s collection features over 40 chainsaws from more than 45 manufacturers, representing a century of technological progress, diversity, and even surprising design.
From early models to modern classics, the exhibition celebrates the innovation behind chainsaw engineering. Beyond their practical use, chainsaws have inspired creativity—chainsaw sculptures are a common sight in Finnish landscapes. Artist Sanna Vatanen added a playful twist by crocheting chainsaws named after their colorful Finnish nicknames—some of which are now back on display at Lusto.
