Design from Finland in a nutshell

The Design from Finland mark was launched in 2011 when it was recognised that design should be highlighted as a critical success factor for Finnish companies. The mark provides consumers in Finland and abroad with evidence of Finnish design excellence. Well-designed products and services are better to use, and consumers find them more desirable.

The Design from Finland mark may be awarded to any product or service designed in Finland, provided that the company has demonstrably invested in Finnish design.

The company’s head office must be in Finland. The product may be manufactured in Finland or abroad. The company communicates publicly about the structure of its production chain and its production country. For the detailed award criteria, consult the Design from Finland terms.

The right to use the Design from Finland mark is awarded upon application for a term of three years by an independent Design from Finland Committee with expertise in the field. All Design from Finland holders can be found in our membership directory.

The Design from Finland mark has been awarded to hundreds of products and services. For all products and services that have been awarded the mark, visit Sinivalkoinenvalinta.fi (in Finnish). Below are a few examples of Design from Finland products and services.
