The news came on 25 November 2009: Helsinki had been appointed the World Design Capital for 2012.
The World Design Capital initiative promotes and supports the cultural, social and financial uses of design. The title is assigned every other year by the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (Icsid).
While there are many awards that recognise individual accomplishments in design, the World Design Capital (WDC) designation is unique as it aims to focus on the broader essence of design’s impact on urban spaces, economies and citizens. wdchelsinki2012.fi

Our host was Tjeerd Veenhoven, who had recently returned from his trip to India, and had a lot to tell about his innovative material palm leather. Guest speakers were university teacher Gert-Jan Euverink, Pieter Diphoorn of Syntens and Steven Krol of Zinniger.
The turnout was overwhelming. About 23 designers and other interested people were present. Tjeerd Veenhoven had cooked a delicious soup, that was consumed by the attendants in the short break in between the presentations.
