About Very Finnish Problems
VFP started as a joke shared between expats trying to explain Finland to the rest of the world. It grew into a community of 1.3 million people who get it — the silences, the saunas, the ruisleipa and the very specific joy of being left alone in nature. Every design is created by Joel Willans, a Brit who has been living in Helsinki since 2002 and has had ample time to observe the Finnish condition up close.
