Helsinki

We were lucky to take a short break last weekend to the beautiful Helsinki! It was inspirational on so many levels and we can't believe this was our first visit!

Here's some of our highlights:

1. The underground - full of orange! Our favourite colour...

2. Marimekko's outlet store - what a treat this was! End of line products, slight seconds and clearance items all at amazing prices. It was colour and print heaven...

3. The floor in the reception of Hotel Kämp...

4. Hietalahden kauppatori - a brilliant outdoor flea market...

5. Iittala/Arabia factory outlet - glass and ceramics heaven...

5. The Design District - great shops, bars, restaurants and the Design Museum's worth checking out...

6. Not forgetting the amazing amount of seafood...

7. And not forgetting these wonderful creations by Tove Jansson...

There's more, but we might look like we're working for the Helsinki tourist board?! If you like design, architecture, shopping, eating etc then we think you'll love it!
