Marimekko, Iittala, Artek – diese klassischen Designmarken sind weltweit bekannt, doch viele wissen nicht, dass sie aus Finnland stammen. Im Gegensatz zu ihren skandinavischen Nachbarn kommunizieren die Finnen ihre Errungenschaften oft nicht selbstbewusst. Finnische Firmen wie Nokia und Fiskars sowie Produkte wie Angry Birds sind international erfolgreich, und das Land bietet außergewöhnliche Freiräume für junges Unternehmertum. Das raue nordische Klima hat die Finnen stets zu innovativen Lösungen herausgefordert und ihre Handwerkskultur geprägt. Finnland zählt zu den Ländern mit dem höchsten Bildungsniveau, und finnische Schüler belegen regelmäßig Spitzenplätze im PISA-Vergleich. Der Gemeinschaftssinn der Finnen zeigt sich in kollektiven Ritualen wie Saunagängen. Trotz oder gerade wegen dieser Eigenschaften entstehen bemerkenswerte Wettbewerbe und kulturelle Errungenschaften, von Ehefrauen-Huckepack-Rennen bis hin zu Weltklasse-Sportlern. In Finnland treffen Vorbildlichkeit und Kreativität aufeinander, was die Basis für eine lebendige Design- und Unternehmenskultur bildet. Das Buch von Nokia, herausgegeben von Marko Ahtisaari, stellt zeitgenössisches finnisches Design vor und verortet es im Kontext des nationalen Selbstverständnisses, während es die Entwicklung der finnischen Design- und Produktkultur beleuchtet.
