What people buy alongside this one.

Somewhere between Michigan and Ostrobothnia there is a person who pronounces sauna correctly, treats coffee as a load-bearing part of the day and has never once enjoyed small talk. This is the label for that person.

It reads like the back of a packet because that is roughly how it works. Sisu at 40%, which is what gets you through a winter that lasts most of the year. Coffee at 30%, which is not an exaggeration. Silence at 25%, the part that takes longest to explain to the neighbours. Sauna at 4%. Small talk at 1% and even that is being generous.

The allergen advice at the bottom is the only warning anyone needs. May contain traces of perkele.

For Finnish Americans, for the grandchildren of the people who left Vaasa for Minnesota and for anyone who has sat through a family gathering wondering why everybody goes quiet at the same moment.

The front print is a clean nutrition label, big enough to read across a room and dry enough that nobody has to explain it.

About Very Finnish Problems

VFP was started by British author Joel Willans, who met his Finnish wife in London and moved with her to Helsinki in 2002. Over the next two decades his observations of Finnish life grew into a community of 1.3 million people worldwide. Every design is inspired by real Finnish life and created by Joel and his team in Helsinki. Joel is also the author of the Very Finnish Problems books, written after many years of living in Finland and still not fully understanding it.

Joel Willans, founder of Very Finnish Problems

Designed in Helsinki by someone who actually lives here

Very Finnish Problems is run by Joel Willans, a British writer who moved to Finland over twenty years ago and never quite got around to leaving. Every design comes out of real Finnish life he's had with his Finnish wife, Anna and their kids, and a community of more than 1.3 million people who know exactly what no niin means.
