Don’t take it from us…


but let the press impress you!

My dear, dear friend Mr. Norman Miller from the Guardian came for a visit and wrote about it. Take a look – he has compelling arguments to support the Finnish Design’s march towards a brilliant future. Join us and make it that much better!

About the writer

Havis Amanda National symbol, City of Helsinki Havis Amanda
Havis Amanda is one of Vallgren's Parisian Art Nouveau works. She is a mermaid who stands on seaweed as she rises from the water, with four fish spouting water at her feet and surrounded by four sea lions. She is depicted leaning backwards as if to say goodbye to her element. Vallgren's intention was to symbolize the rebirth of Helsinki.
