Helsinki Design Week 2008: Come to light
Pleasing the eye, challenging the mind, celebrating form and function. This year, Helsinki Design Week brings light to the city both metaphorically and in practice. The theme of this year – light – is visible in installations brightening urban spaces, as well as a creative light bringing people together. The 12-day Week comprises of a wide array of happenings in the Cable Factory and in other central and inspiring venues.
Helsinki Design Week is an annual festival of creativity – a forum for professionals, a cultural experience for city-dwellers and visitors. A place for encounters, aesthetics and inspiration. Helsinki Design Week offers exhibitions, seminars, workshops, fashion shows, installations, shopping opportunities, open-door visits to studios and closed-for-public spaces, as well as mingling by night.

I love Finish design and am really excited about Helsinki Design Week – I wish I could go. Iittala is one of my favourite Finish brands and I’ve just found this great discount on mydeco that I thought I should share.

Hi,
The program for HDW 08 is definitely interesting and the first couple of days have been quite the blast. The visits to the studios happening this week are definitely something one does not get to experience every day!
