We are proud to serve as the official partner with the World Design Capital Helsinki 2012 and highlight our design icons as concrete proof of a strong Finnish design heritage. In addition, for the Finnish audience we offer an innovative interpretation of Finland, created by the Swedish digital artist Per Josephson. These special, limited-edition products named HEL2012 capture the essence of Finland’s classic art, sporting champions, national heroes, even landmarks.

Iittala isn’t just about creating beautiful objects but more about improving everyday lives through functional yet aesthetic design. As a whole, Finnish designers believe in creating sustainable, interesting designs that have a positive effect on our living environment. Our hope is that the WDC Helsinki 2012 will continue to cultivate new growth opportunities for design and enrich our cities as well as our individual lives.
