Eero Aarnio Originals is a unique space that showcases the original designs of renowned Finnish designer Eero Aarnio. This studio is the only manufacturer of Aarnio's classic pieces, making it an ideal venue for creative events, design exhibitions, and artistic gatherings. The space offers a vibrant atmosphere that encourages inspiration and collaboration among designers, artists, and the public. It is particularly suitable for events that focus on design, art, and innovation, providing a platform for discussions and showcases of creative work.

The Ruoholahti Joint Shelter, also known as Viinatunneli, is a unique venue that offers a glimpse into Helsinki's architectural and historical significance. Originally constructed to transport goods from the Alko factory to a central warehouse, this tunnel was built between 1973 and 1978 and served as a vital part of the city's infrastructure until its closure in 1993. Now repurposed as a civil defense shelter, it has become a popular site for guided tours during events like the Open House Helsinki. The venue can accommodate a maximum of 15 people per tour, making it ideal for intimate gatherings or educational visits. The tours require advance registration, ensuring a personalized experience. This venue is particularly suitable for architecture enthusiasts, history buffs, and those interested in unique urban spaces. The collaboration with Helsinki Design Week enhances its appeal, making it a must-visit during the festival.
