Sanoma Magazines, the publisher of the title, is one of the main partners of World Design Capital Helsinki 2012.Gloria Design explores new perspectives on fashion, design, living, interior design, food, and antiques through the goals and themes highlighted by WDC Helsinki 2012. The magazine focusses in particular on future choices and asks how we want to live, what we want ourselves and the world around us to look like, and what will be important for us in the future. It features articles on everything from how Helsinki’s architecture helps fulfil people’s lives and new design products looking for someone to produce them to the homes of people who have moved to the city from abroad, and Seoul, which was World Design Capital in 2010.“Gloria Design is a magazine for everyone in Finland interested in the world around them, not just for design professionals or those with an active interest in all things design,” explains the magazine’s Editor-in-Chief, Minna Juti. “It will combine the lifestyle elegance of our other Gloria titles with an easily approachable, discussion-driven style.

By using different types of paper and various technical innovations throughout the magazine, we want to give readers a tactile experience that adds a new dimension to its content.”Advertisers have been excited by what the magazine offers.“Gloria Design has been a real media sales success,” says Tuula Heikkinen, Director of Sanoma Magazines’ Media Sales. “We even had to increase the original number of pages planned to provide space for all the advertisers that wanted to come on board.
