An upcycled design project

I first started my upcycled design project Talo House during the pandemic. I had plenty of time in my hands, so I began experimenting with sewing, utilising old clothes as my material, as well as creating a visual identity as a sustainable designer. I have always loved nature dearly, so creating things in a way that has minimal impact on the environment will always be my priority.

From the start, Talo House has been a hybrid upcycling project combining all my visual passions: photography, clothing and textile design, styling, visual art, and collage. As the ideas grow, I have also expanded into jewelry, and I am sure, as time goes on, I will come up with even more ways to express the joy of making new things with used materials.

Below you can find examples of my work. I am always excited to receive an inquiry for a custom project – feel free to contact me!

Talo House Capsule Collection Spring ´25

This capsule collection is inspired by two paintings: The Secret Rendezvous by Pierre-Charles Comte, and Hellelil and Hildebrand, the meeting on the turret stairs by Frederic William Burton. The collection is an enchanted combination of the Middle Ages aesthetics, subversive Y2K fashion, and just a hint of Pippi Longstocking whimsy. It radiates eclectic joy and adventurous spirit. All pieces use carefully curated second-hand materials as their base.

Are you interested in any of the pieces, or would you like a custom piece of your own? I am happy to discuss further!
