The largest design and architecture festival in the Nordic countries, Helsinki Design Week, takes place this year from 6 to 15 September.

Helsinki Design Week is celebrated this year with the theme 'Underneath'. In accordance with the annual theme, the event will dive deep into creative processes and highlight the most interesting phenomena in the creative fields at three main venues and with over a hundred other events.

The main event venue at Paasivuorenkatu 3 will be the festival’s central stage. The event, set in an old bank hall owned by the Main Partner Antilooppi, promises engaging discussions, exchanges of ideas, and interactions. Event partner Marimekko will ensure that the space of the old bank hall transforms into a comprehensive experience. The main event venues also include Aalto University’s new Marsio building (6–15 September) and Habitare at Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre (11–15 September).

The festival programme will include, for example, a discussion on the new AD Museum, 'House of an Architect' evening, and the lively and anticipated PechaKucha Night. HDW's classic Design Market will take place at the Cable Factory from 7 to 8 September, while the Design Diplomacy event series will invite city residents to ambassadors’ residences from 11 to 13 September.
