Highlights
Kaapelitehdas - The main venue of HDW 2010
Kaapelitehdas – Cable Factory is the main venue for the sixth Helsinki Design Week exhibition, taking place 26.8-5.9.2010.
In 1991 the Cable Factory was fully converted into a 53,000 square meter independent cultural centre aimed at providing an area of artistic diversity with multicultural links. Currently it houses theatres, museums, galleries, art schools, and a plethora of different companies. Therefore it is a perfect headquarters for this year’s HDW, which is built around the concept of STORYTELLING.
Even though the HDW is spread around the city of Helsinki, Cable Factory can be described as the nerve centre. It hosts a wide variety of exhibitions and events that cultivate experimental and innovative designs and ways of expression, and brings people together to create and share stories.
This year’s event includes:
DIY Fashion
A fashion show and exhibition for self-taught “Do-It-Yourself” fashion designers.The idea of this exhibition is to get a chance to see the makings and hear the stories of designers graduated from the fashion school of life.
Design Market: Saturday-Sunday 28-29.8
Storytelling as a form of commerce: old and new items all tell a story. Designers and companies gather together to offer prototypes, end-of-line items and samples. Last year’s clearance sale attracted more than 15,000 bargain-hungry visitors.
And much, much more…
