Pentagon Design
Helsinki, Finland
About
Strategic design agency operating since 1996, specializing in design strategy, brand transformation, and design-led business growth for enterprises and innovative companies.
Our Take
The published portfolio of 51 projects is dominated by brand identity, packaging, spatial/retail, service design, and industrial/product work for names like Hesburger, VR, Marimekko, Fazer, and the Mannerheim Museum, with awards including 11 Red Dot and 8 iF prizes signalling a design-strategy and brand house rather than a digital product shop.
Digital appears only as one line on the services page with no UX/UI case study showing user research, flows, prototyping, testing, or product metrics, and no named UX or product designers among the 26-person team, so the directory's "UX/UI Design" and "SaaS & B2B" tags overstate what the site actually demonstrates.
Case studies are short and image-led and carry no outcome metrics, though the VR work references rollout dates through 2026, indicating current activity.
Best for buyers needing brand transformation, packaging, service design, or physical/experiential design from an established Finnish strategy-and-craft firm, not for teams seeking dedicated digital product UX or SaaS interface work.
Key strengths
- Published portfolio spans 51 projects with recognizable public and private clients (VR, Hesburger, Fazer, Marimekko, City of Helsinki, Mannerheim Museum), concentrated in brand identity, packaging, and service/spatial design.
- Awards page lists 76 honors including 11 Red Dot, 11 German Design, and 8 iF Design awards, plus a State Prize for Design, evidencing recognition in brand and industrial/product design.
- Operating since 1996 with a 26-person team, a named CEO/Creative Director, and a Helsinki office address, supporting business legitimacy.
Good to know
- If you need digital product UX/UI or SaaS interface work, ask for a dedicated digital case study and named UX/product designers, since the site shows only one passing digital-design mention and no product-UX process or screens.
- Request quantified outcomes before contracting, because the case studies are image-led and publish no metrics on adoption, conversion, or business impact.
- Confirm the engagement scope matches your need, as the published work is roughly two-thirds brand, packaging, service, and spatial design rather than software or web product delivery.
