Designers, writers, writers passionately writing on design, friends of Sälä: Our open call for the second issue of Sälä Magazine is now open!
The theme of the second issue, Contact can be interpreted and reflected in the works in many different ways.
Whether it’s social connection, a seam or juncture in a physical form, a mutual understanding, a link between people and places or the haptic feel of a texture.
We are looking for design works, written pieces, essays and all sorts of projects based in Finland to be featured in our second issue, which will be published in Fall 2025. Sälä covers various fields of Finnish design including but not limited to physical pieces, visual communication projects, spatial works and more.
Both new productions and already published works are welcome, and you may submit several pieces in the same application.
Feel free to tip off a friend or others who might be interested!
Our second issue will be published in English. However, you're welcome to submit texts in Finnish—just note that these will be translated into English before publication
The open call is open from April 28 to May 31.
Please title your email: “Sälä 2 Open Call, First name Last name”
In your application, please include a short introduction of yourself and your work, and attach 2–5 images of visual projects. For written content, you can submit a finished article, essay, or other piece as a PDF attachment.
Accepted file formats: jpg, png, pdf, docx, mp4, mov, mp3, wav
Once selections are made, we’ll be in touch to confirm the publication details.
