The main exhibition, Designing Happiness, explores how happiness is designed. Helsinki Design Week will take place in September for the 20th time. The theme, Celebration, offers visitors and contributors to the city-wide festival a chance to pause and raise a toast to achievements, solutions, and opportunities.
