Better to Wear
We get dressed each and every day: clothes protect us and help us express ourselves. We can dress better when we re-design the whole textile process from manufacturing to use to recycling.

Designs for a Cooler Planet 2021
Loving Environments
Construction gobbles up half of the world’s natural resources. Collaboration between scientists, designers, architects, the public sector and companies generates ideas that can make living environments and the construction industry more sustainable.
Infinite Materials
We need to radically cut our consumption of materials and energy by creating materials that are not just renewable but forever reusable.
Helsinki Design Week 2021 has landed in Otaniemi, showcasing three paths to resource wisdom
Radical ideas and prototypes contributing to a resource-wise future. The exhibitions and online lectures are open to everyone, and they belong to the official Helsinki Design Week programme.
