Business Membership
Design entrepreneur, our experts will help you when you are thinking about starting a company or want to develop your business.
Business membership can be applied by a company or business owner operating in the field of design or applied arts, or a company that significantly contributes to the design industry. The requirement is that the company employs at least one person who meets the membership criteria for an Ornamo personal member.
Corporate members undertake to comply with Ornamo’s ethical guidelines (in Finnish).
