What is human happiness and is it something that we can specifically design for?
Hosted in conjunction with Helsinki Design Weekly, The Happy Hour is a podcast that explores these questions in detail. Organised to coincide with Designing Happiness, the central exhibition and symposium of the 2025 edition of Helsinki Design Week, the podcast examines the way in which objects, urbanism and systems can help to support happier sciences and communities.
The conversation was recorded by Radio Helsinki; hosted by Disegno's editor-in-chief Oli Stratford; and features Anniina Koivu, curator of Designing Happiness; Jennifer De Paola, clinical psychologist and researcher on happiness at the University of Helsinki; and David Sim, urbanist and partner at Softer, as well as author of the book Soft City.
