Main Venue: Suomitalo

The main venue of Helsinki Design Week is Suomitalo. Completed in 1911, the building is located in the heart of Helsinki, next to the Old Church Park. The façades of Suomitalo were designed by architect Armas Lindgren, with floorplans by Onni Tarjanne. Built from red Kökar granite, the building is a fine example of late Art Nouveau.
The ten-day celebration of design at Suomitalo will include the Designing Happiness exhibition and symposium, along with a varied programme of talks, launches, and other events for both design professionals and the general public. A wine bar and dinner events are also in store.
