Tokyo Midtown Design Hub is the base for a design network that launched in 2007. During Roppongi Art Night we will screen films and present a lecture on Finnish culture.

“My Stuff” is a documentary about a Helsinki youth – the director himself – who as an experiment puts all of his things in storage and takes out only one a day for an entire year. The film “Armi Alive!” depicts the stormy and dramatic life of Armi Ratia, the founder of prominent Scandinavian fashion house Marimekko. Both are works that deeply interrogate such questions as “What is life?” and “What is happiness?”
