Design Village

Design Village is a concept plan in the Kalasatama district of Helsinki. The drafts were created in the spring of 2007. The idea is to create an innovative meeting place for companies in the business of top design and related services. In addition to clusters of companies in the fields of interior decoration, consumer electronics, construction and clothing, the village features a center for promotions and events. The purpose of the promotional center is to help facilitate the “villagers’” meetings with customers and media representatives in various exhibition settings. The concept also includes a restaurant which offers catering services for business events, a staff dining area and a pleasant dining and meeting place for local inhabitants.
