Jussi Pajunen, Mayor of Helsinki:
Design is an integral part of the Finnish identity and society. The ability to renew this valuable resource of expertise is an important part of our international competitiveness.
A one hundred-year-old building sitting idle was found in the heart of the city. It now offers a fabulous setting for new design, art, fashion and music. This year the Old Customs Warehouse located in Katajanokka will be the main venue for Helsinki Design Week.

Helsinki is known for its architecture and unique urban milieu, but many of the interesting places are not open to the public. OpenHouseHelsinki will change that for four days.

Around Helsinki
Taking a dip in the icy sea water in the middle of Helsinki is pretty much as cool as it gets. More and more of the new winter swimming enthusiasts in Helsinki are in their twenties and thirties.
