ABOUT NORDIC QUARTERS
Nordic Quarters is a new digital publication launched by Habitare Pro, Finland’s largest design trade fair. Published digitally in English, it features the most important architecture and design stories from Finland, the Nordics and the Baltics through people, products and spaces, whilst also offering current design highlights from around the world. Our publication is subscribed by and targeted to the professional architecture and design industry each quarter with over 35,000 readers.
By combining a top seasoned editor with a rich and active background in design journalism covering global design stories and a passionate creative who lives and breathes design and events, a publication covering the best that the Nordic region has to offer, was born.
Each quarterly issue will be collated into one publication just before the design fair Habitare opens each September. The first issue of the year is released following the announcement of the new Habitare theme, in December.
Finland and the Nordics are a hub of architecture and design inspiration, and our Nordic Quarters publication is a expression of the best that the region has to offer to a wider audience. Our aim is simple; to be the source of the most interesting, relevant and up to date design publication coming out of the Nordics.
