When Finland was named the happiest country in the world, the response was largely silence. Not because Finns disagreed, but because the Finnish face in contentment and the Finnish face in mild inconvenience are not easy to tell apart from the outside. The Finnish Face captures this precisely: an expression that contains everything and reveals very little. This is not a communication failure. It is a communication style.
A museum quality print on thick matte paper. Works as well on a home office wall as it does as a gift for someone who knows exactly which face this is.
Giclée printing quality. Paper thickness: 10.3 mil. Paper weight: 5.57 oz/y² (189 g/m²). Opacity: 94%.
About Very Finnish Problems
VFP was started by Joel Willans, a British author who met a Finnish woman in London and moved to Helsinki in 2002. Over the next two decades he turned his observations of Finnish life 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 VFP books.
