DO TOUCH! Helsinki Design Week 09 brings design within reach of everyone. The theme is manifested in the events that encourage collaboration between creative professionals and other people. We believe that design should be open for interaction, opinions and touch. Come and leave your mark at our events in the Cable Factory and other venues.

Helsinki Design Week is an annual city festival which purpose is to attune and introduce people to new design. Operating through various media, collaborations and events, we invite design devotees to new experiences, encounters and idea exchange. The program includes an array of events including workshops, exhibitions, fashion shows, festivities, seminars, visits to studios and closed-for-public spaces as well as shopping opportunities.

Founded in 2005, Helsinki Design Week's focus lies on multi-disciplinary take on design and bringing it closer to people. Currently in the process of expanding both in terms of geography and time, we work closely with City of Helsinki, ZonaTortona and Nordic Fashion Association.
