Helsinki Design Night

Helsinki Design Night is a key event of Helsinki Design Week, one of the largest design festivals in the Nordic countries, emphasizing the importance of urban nightlife in city design, inviting both professionals and residents to engage with creative urban ideas. Design Night takes place in Helsinki, transforming different venues yearly in a way that encourages attendees to see the familiar city in a different light during the evening hours.

In 2024 Helsinki Design Night was organized at Bar Unikko, a temporary pop-up bar put together by Marimekko, Let Me Wine and HDW. Also the main venue for Helsinki Design Week, the location was a former bank hall in Hakaniemi, Helsinki. Jori Hulkkonen – a Finnish electronic music pioneer and legend – performed an improvised three hour live set at the event.
