Heikki Turunen is a Finnish designer who had a 38-year career as a lighting designer at Stockmann-Orno beginning in the 1960s. He has been a significant contributor to the development of Finnish lighting design.
At the start of his career, Turunen worked as an assistant to chief designer Lisa Johansson-Pape, but he soon began developing his own lighting models.
