Candy: For licorice lovers, Finland is the promised land. Called salmiakki in Finnish, the candy comes in hundreds of shapes and flavors – even salty and spicy. We’re partial to the Haganol “pharmacy-grade” licorice. Order your own at suomikauppa.fi.

Nokia: Based out of Finland, which, aside from Goth-metal, is most famous for its design industry. We love this Nokia 5300, $100 with contract from tmobile.com.

Furniture: Though designed in the mid-20th century, Alvar Aalto’s and Eero Saarinen’s brands of form-meets-function are still relevant in today’s homes – and you can pick up your own piece of Finnish interior at Design Within Reach. Aalto stackable stools are $149 and Saarinen’s iconic dining tables are $3,150 (dwr.com).

Food: While we’ve yet to find a Finnish restaurant in New York, it’s possible to get a taste of the Baltic at the city’s Scandinavian establishments. We love Smorgas Chef – which boasts three locations in New York – where you can sample Gravlaks: aquavit-and-dill-marinated salmon with mustard sauce and cucumber salad ($22, smorgaschef.com).

Fashion: Marimekko’s bold prints and brilliant uses of color are an intrinsic part of Finland’s design culture. Find a clothing and textiles retailer near you at marimekko.com.

Brother-and-sister design duo Tuomas and Anna Laitinen won accolades at last year’s design Festival d’Hyeres in France – earning them a fabric sponsorship from Punto Seta, which also produces textiles for Chanel and Chloe. Their premiere collection has just been snapped up by Maria Luisa Paris (marialuisaboutique.com).
