Helsinki Design Week 2025

Helsinki Design Week presents new people and phenomena within design in cooperation with various partners. Established in 2005, Helsinki Design Week is the largest design festival in the Nordic countries.

In 2025, we will celebrate HDW’s 20th anniversary year and the dates are 5–14 September 2025.

The festival offers the citizens a platform to participate in the development of the city and in related discussion. Our international programme features circa 150 events every year, targeted at both professionals and the general public. It consists of signature events, companion events and satellite events. Children’s Design Week is also an important part of the programme.

Helsinki Design Weekly is the leading design media in Finland, featuring phenomena, news and discussion related to design and architecture every week.
