Finland Celebrates Design Year 2005Design is made by people for the people. That is the message that Finland is promoting to its citizens during Design Year 2005. The aim is to inform the public of the importance and potential of design as a resource for boosting industry, trade and business. A collaboration among design associations, educational institutions, resource centres and industry representatives in Finland, the Design Year will give the public an opportunity to experience the value and contributions of design through exhibitions, seminars, student workshops and more.
We need design to complement technological know-how. Design is vital to the competitiveness of businesses and the affluence of society. Technical excellence is not enough; what matters is the experience offered by products.
The Design Year celebrates the end of the design policy programme Design 2005! The programme is based on changes that have taken place in the structure of the economy and its objective is to improve the design competitiveness of Finnish businesses with the help of design know-how.
The events of the Design Year are open to everyone. They provide an opportunity to see design, meet professionals and learn about training, research, innovation, new products, trends and businesses that use design.
The Design Year is organised by Design Forum Finland, the Universi
