Graphic Designer of the Year 2025: Päivi Helander
Sep 20 – Nov 9, 2025
Uudenmaankatu 13, 00120 Helsinki
Päivi Helander explores immersion in time and space in her award exhibition called ”Aikaan piirrettyjä viivoja” (Lines drawn in line). She examines the relationship between the built environment, nature and humans through the means of design and text.
Päivi Helander has curated this intimate group exhibition, where designers,artists, and writers approach a common subject: Louhisaari, a 17th-century noble manor and today a site of the National Museum of Finland, located in Southwest Finland. Louhisaari serves as the exhibition’s inspiration, research object and starting point for reinterpretation.
The exhibition forms an installation in which visitors can linger to read essays about the experiences and interpretations evoked by Louhisaari.
The concept, curating and architecture of the exhibition are by Päivi Helander. Helander, who was selected as the Graphic Designer of the Year 2025, is a multidisciplinary visual designer whose work ranges from colour design to publications and from spaces to events.
She has the ability to assemble teams for her projects that become more than the sum of their parts – a quality that has shaped this exhibition as well.
