How long I wanted to write this post? About two months, actually since when I visited Helsinki for the second time for the Habitare furniture fair and for the Helsinki Design Week. The first time was for WEBLOGfinlandia project, do you remember?
Better late than never, they say. So here I am today with a list of amazing addresses, many photos and tips for those ones who are looking for the most interesting design shops in Helsinki. The area of course is the Helsinki Design District, a cute neighborhood filled with showrooms, architectural studios, cafes, markets: a very pleasant area where enjoy a walk and lot of shopping.
Take note!
PS Thanks to Rikka from Ex Minimalist that was my local guide!

Da quanto tempo volevo scrivere questo post? Circa da due mesi, ovvero dalla seconda volta in cui sono stata ad Helsinki in occasione della fiera di arredo e design Habitare e della Helsinki Design Week. La prima volta ci ero stata per il progetto WEBLOGfinlandia, ricordate?
Meglio tardi che mai, dicono. E quindi eccomi oggi con qualche indirizzo da non perdere, tante foto e le dritte per chi cerca i negozi di design più interessanti di Helsinki. La zona è ovviamente quella dell’ Helsinki Design District, il quartiere in cui si concentrano showroom, studi di architettura, caffé, mercatini: un’area molto piacevole in cui passeggiare e assolutamente visitabile tutta a piedi.
Take note!
