Helsinki design week

Visited today Kaapelitehdas, old cable factory in Ruoholahti, Helsinki, now home to several design companies, restaurants, theatre, culture events, concerts, exhibitions, festivals and fairs etc. They had this weekend Design Market, the biggest design outlet sale in Finland gathering together dozens of vendors and thousands of shoppers. It was very busy still at 4 pm today, even though they closed at 5 pm. I bought a Lumi canvas and leather bag, not for myself, but for Christmas present. A great deal; normally 170 € now only 40 €.

It was part of Helsinki desing week, there are different events, the biggest and most well known will be Habitare, a five day furniture, building and interior design fair. Check out also Design District events during the coming week; late night shopping on Thursday etc.
