Gallery: Nokia HQ Finland – Nokia clothing shop inside!
I love all things Nokia. I especially love things that are branded Nokia. I get jealous of seeing Nokia promo folk wearing Nokia shirts, Nokia clothing, Nokia hats, Nokia jackets etc. (I love my Ovi Bag and Nokia Umbrella, and the odd Nokia related shirts from WOMWorld)
I saw an ad this morning for “Nokia Shorts” and what with it being Spring/summery weather in UK (ish) I wanted some Nokia shorts. @m4tt (from TheNextWeb) tweeted back that there is a place that exists to acquire/buy such Nokia merchandise. At the heart of Nokia, Nokia HQ.
Posted just yesterday by Heidi is a brilliant sneak peek into Nokia HQ in Keilalahti, Espoo, Finland. http://conversations.nokia.com/2011/04/07/a-sneak-peek-into-the-depths-of-nokia-hq-photos/
In addition to the office spaces, the building packs two cafeterias, a coffee shop, a post office, a laundry, a health clinic, a cashpoint, a gym, a shop that sells Nokia merchandise, as well as several saunas.
Jackets, bags, shirts – I hope they have Nokia branding on them! Heaven! But it’s in Finland and in Nokia HQ. Not somewhere where anybody can just pop into. 
Check out that wall of Nokia. How many can you name? Did you ever get to use any of these? My fav is on 3rd row, column 4. 
Pretty epic staircase. Very industrial looking. Cold and precise.
Yum!
Punching room. :p I hear Job’s face gets printed on that punch bag. jk.
Fancy lounge for Nokia design folk. Is that an egg chair thing I see at the back?
Swanky waiting room before going into a meeting
Sauna. Do you reckon Elop and Ballmer might have sweated out the WP meetings here? :p
And the offices…cubicle time. Any unannounced phones or non Nokia in the picture? :p
Reception Area.
Frozen ship – Eldar’s spyboat.
Looks great. I hope the Nokia HQ in US, Silicone Valley is somewhat more modern looking, ALA google HQ.

Looks pretty neat inside, agree with you how well that industrial look fits there.
Nice commentary btw, especially the spyboat part
I just saw that boat yesterday and laughed
They sure have very comfortable work places for people that suck at their jobs so much.
And that sauna looks like it has never been used.
The Nokia promo shop is in the main lobby of Nokia HQ and is accessible to the public. If you ever visit the Helsinki region, you can check it out for yourself. Or, you could have someone living in Espoo pick up stuff and mail to you.
Hmm, I live some 10 minutes bus ride from there, maybe I should visit the shop some day. Never knew about it before now
Ha, a spyboat
We have a bunch of Nokia clothes at my parents’ place, my father used to be an engineer at the company. Maybe I could send Jay a nice, blue Nokia hat (a cap, to be precise), straight outta 90s!
The spyboat joke cuaght me too, couldn’t help but laugh over it.
I used to do some QA and assemble some parts(microphone etc) into the shell that 7710(row1 col1) phone back in 2004-2005.
It was suppose to be a big hit .. mobile tv phone
I guess the tv phone never really took off.. but it was a nice looking touchscreen phone anyways.
Great post!
I too like all things Nokia.
But in India, anyone can easily buy a T-shirt with a Nokia trademark printed on it because here Nokia is the sponsor of the IPL team Kolkata knight riders and their T-shirts are easily available everywhere.
I want a Nokia tee or cap. This sucks, I’m live in NYC. Who’s so kind hearted to pick me up a tee. I’ll even send the money to get it.
Like Nokia clothing shop
Nokia’s U.S. HQ is in White Plains, NY.
