Here Are the Highlights From Helsinki Design Week

Couldn’t make it to Helsinki Design Week? No need for FOMO—here’s what caught our eye this year.

Studio Haekkinen

The 49th edition of Habitare, Helsinki’s annual furniture and design fair, included established Finnish brands like Nikari, Hakola, and Marimekko, but also presented exciting new work from young Finnish designers. Among them was Petteri Häkkinen, whose Piccolo tables are the epitome of Nordic understatement.

Rasmus Palmgren

The Fold Shelf by Rasmus Palmgren collapses flat for portability. Palmgren was one of four up-and-coming designers showcased in Habitare’s "Talentshop" section. They were chosen by Imu, a design organization that helps promising young designers make the transition from student to professional.
