Relander memorial, Memorial and artwork in Etu-Töölö, Finland.
The memorial consists of four red granite cubes measuring 2.08 meters on each side, arranged in a quadrangle with carved diagonal lines on their surfaces.
Finnish sculptor Matti Peltokangas created this monument in 1996 to honor Lauri Kristian Relander, who served as President of Finland during the establishment of democracy.
The memorial incorporates elements of graphic art through hand-carved patterns while celebrating the traditional use of Finnish red granite in monumental structures.
Located near Runeberginkatu street in Hesperia park, the memorial forms part of the Helsinki Art Museum collection and remains accessible to pedestrians year-round.
The diagonal lines carved into opposing cube faces create a dynamic visual effect that changes based on viewing angle and natural light conditions.
