Open Studios

Helsinki is a growing and fascinating city for creative professionals!

Open Studios invites citizens, partners, customers, students and everyone interested in the creative fields to explore the world of design studios, offices, processes, creators and creative work in a laid-back, inspiring atmosphere. The event is to reveal how and where creative work is done.

How does multidisciplinary cooperation work?
What is it like to live in a design city that keeps changing?

Open Studios will be organized on two Fridays during Helsinki Design Week:

The first event will kick off the festival on Friday 6 September as the studios in the districts of Eira, Punavuori, Ullanlinna and Kamppi will open their doors to visitors.

The second Open Studios event will take place on Friday 13 September in the districts of Hakaniemi, Kallio, Sörnäinen, Vallila and East Helsinki. The main venue of the festival, Paasivuorenkatu 3, is located in the same area.

The final list of participating studios will be posted on this website later.

You are welcome to tour the studios freely, at your own pace.
A registration form and a suggested route will be updated on this site in August. However, registration is not required, you can also go on a tour on a whim!
